For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.l#goidelic and a link will take you to a web-page that lists various Irish and Scottish Gaelic dictionaries. Once there, just click on any of the blue headings to access the material. As Sft says, the use of the language in Scotland is very localised to the western highlands and islands. As an east-coaster, the opportunity - or need - to learn it never arose for me.
Sft, as you say yourself, Lallans is a dialect...of English...in the same way as Yorkshire, Dorset and all other local modes of speech in this country are. There is simply no escaping the fact that the language you - and all these other people - speak is English. (By the way, did you see yesterday's news-report on laser eye-treatment? As I kind of suggested to you before, successful treatment might be a '33 to 1 on' chance - ie a virtual certainty - but would you gamble your eyesight on it? Cheers.)
