REAL stumper... Argyll Buttons

[CelticSire]

Here is my SWAG (Scientific Wild A** Guess): Tell me if this makes sense: It’s a poor attempt at something similar to “Clann na ngael ansr am an cheile” “The families of the Highlands answer only to each other” (I don’t speak Gaelic, either Irish or Scot, but I do have some experience working with languages) I'm sure the Gaelic isn't correct, but close?

We have had exactly this same discussion before - within the last two years. I have tried searching but can find nothing.

We did indeed. It was on the Gaelic thread I believe. I contributed but can't find those enties either.

The worst thing is, I can't remember what answer we came to!

There have been three discussions on this topic of the words on the buttons.

The most recent and the one figheadair is referring to can be found here.

This sounds appropriate for the conditions of the time a subtle mask of ones alliance to the jacobite cause, maybe.
