I was trying to figure out what our address is in Gaelic.<\/p>\n

“Glasgow” is of course Glaschu<\/i>, and according to Wikipedia<\/a>, “Newton Mearns” is Baile \u00d9r na Maoirne<\/i>.<\/p>\n

According to the same source<\/a>, “Kinloch” is normally Ceann Loch<\/i> (“head of the loch”).<\/p>\n

However, I’m not certain what “Kinloch Road” would be. “Road” is of course rathad<\/i>, but what about the genitive? “Kinloch Castle” is Caisteal Cheann Locha<\/a><\/i> (although some sources add the article and don’t aspirate: Caisteal Ceann an Locha<\/a><\/i>), so that is probably the best pattern to follow.<\/p>\n

Our address is thus:<\/p>\n

27 Rathad Cheann Locha (or<\/i> 27 Rathad Ceann an Locha)
