I'm looking for a website that translates from English to Scottish Gaelic and/or Scots language that I can use for my research.
I've found one that translates from English to Irish Gaelic, but have yet to find one that does it to Scottish Gaelic.
Please help, if you can.
Thanks

There are quite a few at http://www.ceantar.org/Dicts/index.html
If you click on searches near the top of the page, you can search MacBain's and MacFarlane's online dictionaries.

Don't know of any websites, but of course there are books and tapes for that. Check out your local bookstore If we have them here in this backwater town, you really should be able to find them.
