Mairead also rhymes with Parade here though Mairead is not from here as Mairead is Irish. Though there are similarities between Gaelic pronounced Gaylic in Ireland and Galic in Scotland. Both are spelled the same way. Less than 1% of the population in Scotland speak Gaelic and it was never spoken in the lowlands where we spoke Lallans. We still use words in Lallans today.
