Scottish Gaelic Girls Names

Hi All,
I know that this has probably been done to death, but I am looking for inspiration for girls names. I love Scottish and Scots Gaelic names but am hitting a brick wall for a girls name. I have some boys names but need girls names; ideally a wee bit different from the norm. A few more common Scottish names have already been ruled out due to having already been used in the family! I am not averse to Irish names either (love Saoirse, Roisin and Aisling), but would prefer Scottish.
Thanks :)

If you are a precise sort of person, do check that what you think is a name isn't just the genitive of the name. Often you can tell because they are softened by having an h in them ( think there was a long discussion of this back in 2013 or so).
