Gaelic is not the only Scottish language recognised in Scotland. Gaelic more refers to the highlands. There is such a thing called the Scots leid across the lowlands.
The Scots leid words "fyre" (or fire), "ingle", "glede", "bleize", "spunk", "cutchack" and others can refer to different strengths and forms of fires with regards to the flame-type only (not firing a gun-type), whilst something like "low(e)" can refer to the glow itself and also a type of fire.
Depending what you are doing, I would avoid sticking these into predominately English text as it could have a different definition, or people likely won't have a clue what you are on about as they don't know these words.
The most common is plain old "fyre" (fire) or to those with knowledge "ingle".
Search something like the Concise Scots Dictionary on Google Books and the DSL.|||Don't you mean Gaelic? There is no such thing as a Scottish Language. It's called Gaelic.
And fire is "Teine"
