Scotland likewise welcomes arrivals on the A7, reading Welcome to Scotland in English and Fàilte gu Alba in Scottish Gaelic
This word appears in the Irish phrase céad míle fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) as well as the similar Scottish phrase ceud mìle fàilte and the Manxkeead milley failt. It also occurs in the name of Fáilte Ireland and its predecessor organization, Bord Fáilte (Board of Welcome). Fáilte Towers, an RTÉreality programme broadcast in Ireland in 2008, incorporates this word in its name as well.[2][3]
The accent above the a is a diacritic known in Irish as the síneadh fada (literally, long stretching, as it lengthens the vowel; often called just the fada in English), and as the stràc (pronounced [s̪t̪ɾaːʰk]) in Scottish Gaelic.
