What Does It Say On My PC Buttons?

[Bigkahuna]

"Clan na Gael" was the name of a pipe band from this area not too long ago. Maybe you got one of their jackets or some of their buttons.

Hi Ron,

There was a thread a while back where someone asked this, so I'll just re-post what I wrote:

I have the same buttons on my Argyll jacket. It is Scottish Gaelic written in the Old Irish alphabet, and it's a bit difficult to make out. Whether this is from the moulding or not, it is hard to distinguish the letters "i" or "l".

Mine reads:
Clann nan Gael (Family or tribe of Gaels)
An Grailib (Grallib, Grailibh?) na Creile (or Crelle?) (The ? of the ?)

There are definitely no fada (length marks/accents) on the letters. As this is in the Old Script, it would have been represented by a straight line above a vowel, not like the acute (Irish) or grave (Scottish) accents used today.

It was only at this point that I realized he wasn't talking about a computer. I think I need more Caffeine.
