I'm not 100% sure...But I can almost guarantee you that ky-ree-styoh-nah isn't the right pronunciation.Gaelic, both Scottish and Irish, is very different from English. Pronunciations are therefore sometimes quite bizarre to English-speakers: Caoimhe is pronounced KEE-va, Cailean is pronounced KA-len, and so on.
