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.
