		In a 1560 treaty written in Gaelic, the elder is recorded as ("Gille Escoib Earl of Argyll, that is, Mac Cailin") and the younger is recorded as ("Gille Eascoib son of the Earl aforesaid, that is, Mac Cailin").

		These are Gaelic (the same language as that spoken in Ireland) and Scots (a language closely related to contemporary English).
		Gaelic was spoken primarily in the Highlands while Scots was spoken primarily in the Lowlands, including the royal court and towns.
