Paul,
That Welsh place name must have taken a wee while to type!.
How on earth would you fit that on a map?.
It's a strange language, Welsh, comes from Gaelic, dosen't it?.

Well, actually I cheated by doing a "cut & paste" from the website!

Here's an old railway station sign:


You can see the Gaelic influence in the language, but it's still quite different to Irish or Scotts Gaelic. You can at least see similarities in the latter two, e.g. loch in Scotland vs. lough in Ireland, both meaning lake.

So Paul,
There is Scotts Gaelic and Irish Gaelic, these are quite different strains of Gaelic, or are they just different dialects?

Being the typical English "sassenach" I'm not that knowledgable about Gaelic.
