very useful Gaelic Dictionary

Since this is only Gaelic to English, its not for a complete newbie. You need a little working knowledge of the language, it is also not a complete version, rather a thin, handy size. I found many words in it not in others such and MacLennans.I think is super companion piece.

up-to-date but not comprehensive

This dictionary is strong where Dwelly's is weak and weak where Dwelly's is strong. It is, as far as I know, the only Gaelic-English dictionary that uses the new orthography for Gaelic. However, it is fairly slim and thus not comprehensive. However, I should think that this has everything that a beginning or intermediate learner of Gaelic would ever need. Combined with Thomson's English-Gaelic dictionary the learner will be quite well supplied with up-to-date Gaelic references.
