I'm no expert on Scots Gaelic but the "g" appears incorrect to me. It 
would appear OK to me if it was "gh". I'm not certain if teh sequence 
"ghdh" is still used in Scots Gaelic at the end of a word but it was 
quite common in Irish up to the spelling reform of 1948 (IIRC), when it 
was usually siomplified to "dh".
