Aside from celtic knots and ScotsGaelic, is there a gem or language like Ogham(Irish) to make a ring Scottish?

Kind of a strange question as I know Scottish ring = celtic knots or Scots-Gaelic... Just looking at any other options. Our background is Scottish and we're pretty artsy folk; we want to be really unique with our Scottish influence to our rings. I really love the Ogham alphabet, but understand it's primarily Irish based. So anything similar out there? Iconography? Any national gems or other touches that would be easy to add to a custom made ring? Thanks!!

Edited to add: Sorry, Klute, I meant written language, not spoken, which is why I refered to Ogham as 'alphabet' in my details.

Ogham was used in both Ireland and Scotland (also to some extent in Wales). It was the precursor to both Irish and Scottish gaelic.

Unfortunately its seems all the focus is generally on the Ogham inscriptions from Ireland so its very difficult to find anything from Scotland because most of the examples come from Ireland.

Heres paper you can read about it though.

It describes some of the examples found in Scotland.

I dont really know of any gems or anything. You could just put a Gàidhlig inscription.

The Irish don’t speak Ogham they speak Gaelic. Ogham is an Irish alphabet.
