Spelling is similar to Irish, although some combinations such as "ae" and "bhf" will not be found in modern Scottish Gaelic. Older documents will use a spelling more similar to Irish, or are often in English phonetics. | Spelling is similar to Irish, although some combinations such as "ae" and "bhf" will not be found in modern Scottish Gaelic.

As an example of how different Gaelic spelling is from English, the Lord's Prayer is reproduced here: | |||
:Ar n-Athair a tha air nèamh, Gu naomhaichear d'ainm. | |||
:Thigeadh do rìoghachd. Dèanar do thoil air an talamh, mar a nithear air nèamh. | |||
:Tabhair dhuinn an-diugh ar n-aran làitheil. | |||
:Agus maith dhuinn ar fiachan, amhail a mhaitheas sinne dar luchd-fiach. | |||
:Agus na leig ann am buaireadh sinn; ach saor sinn o olc: | |||
:oir is leatsa an rìoghachd, agus an cumhachd, agus a' ghlòir, gu siorraidh. | |||
:Amen. | |||
