Difficult to write out phonetically but it must be pronounced with a Highland accent! 
Ski 'n doo.
Gallic is difficult to work out the pronunciation from how it is written and there are spelling variants which actually produce the same sound.

Actually, as sgian is a feminine noun, it should be sgian dhubh - pronounced sort of like skiyun ghoo.

I have seen variant spellings sgian, sghian, sgean, sghean etc and now we find dubh is a feminine dhubh!
Small wonder we are confused
It's the same with Welsh, depending upon which part of Wales you are in...
