Dia dhuit, a Sheáin / Hello John. That's Scottish Gaelic. I'm no expert in that but if is what I think it is, this would be the Irish version: "Tá mé ag dul amach chun garraidh, agus cuirfidh mé craobh" / I'm going out to a/the garden and I'll plant a branch.

Jerry, Beneath a picture of a thatched cottage on a Christmas card is written Teach ceann tuf, Eanach Mheán. Can you translate this prase? Thanks for your help. Mary

Hi Mary, That's Teach Ceann Tuí, with an accent on the i. It means 'house of a head of straw.' So in English we'd say 'house with a head of straw'.
