Scots/Gaelic language: I would like assistance, advice, editing for "prefix" name.?
Below are ideas on my list I have "researched" on the internet, but I realize it doesn't mean it is correct to a Scot! The prefix name must include the name Glen....and I wish to reflect Scots heritage. Want to make sure grammar, meaning and pronunciation is correct
GlenCairn
GlenCinaed pronounced kin-ay or kin-ee
GlenFailte pronounced fall-cha meaning welcome
GlenGaidhlig pronounced ka-lik
also, is there a "Scots" term for pine needle ant mounds?
I truly appreciated any assistance

The second one is wrong - there's no "ae" combination in Scottish Gaelic - perhaps you meant 'cinneadh'
Cinneadh kiñuDH
Failte faaltjuh
Gaidhlig gaalik
If by 'pine needle ant mounds' you mean 'ant mounds in pine needles' it's - 'Torr-sheangain bhior ghiuthais'.
The 'Dh' sound in the first one doesn't exist in English.

Well you don't capitalise the second part of the word. For example Glencairn, not GlenCairn.
