22. CELTIC, LOWLAND SCOTCH, AND NORSE.
In Gaelic and Irish, in the Western Isles and the Highlands,
considerable Norse elements are found as the result of Norse

way of Gaelic or Irish. Craigie has given a list of about 200 words
in Gaelic that seem to come from Norse. Out of these I will take a
few that have corresponding words in Scotch:

Sir Thomas Henry Hall Caine CH, KBE (May 14, 1853August 31, 1931), usually known as Hall Caine, was a British author.
