    I do not speak Gaelic, so I don't know if Lacroix is actually speaking gibberish, or if he means that the Gaelic he speaks is incomprehensible to him, therefore gibberish to him. I've seen a fair number of actors just taught to make a certain set of sounds that are actually a phrase in another language, rather than knowing that language, so it's possible they just give him a guideline on what sounds to make.

    Can anyone who speaks Gaelic comment on whether or not Murtagh Fraser is speaking gibberish?
