This is a list of English words borrowed from Scottish Gaelic. Some of these are common in Scottish English and Scots but less so in other varieties of English. ==Words of Scottish Gaelic origin== ; Bannock: a variety of bread. Cf. Latin ''panicium'', Old English ''bannuc''. ; Bard:〔''Collins English Dictionary 21st Century Edition'' Harper Collins (2001) ISBN 0-00-472529-8〕 The word's earliest appearance in English is in 15th century Scotland with the meaning "vagabond minstrel".
