    Sounds great, but one little nit-picky thing. "Slainte" is Irish. The Scottish Gaelic version would be "Slanj".

    I know many Scots who spell it "Slainte".

    For example, the Pipe Major's toast of the Liverpool Scottish Regiment:

    Slainte mor, Slainte Banrighinn
    Slainte agus buaidh gu brath
    le Gillean Forbasach.


    A number of Highland Regiments use variants of this toast with this spelling.
