In relation to the pre-aspiration in Scottish Gaelic fortis stops, I believe that arose due to outside influence from Norse (Icelandic has this exact same feature nowadays), so I'm sceptical that there's a link with the Brittonic languages. That being said, it could of course have happened independently in that sub-branch, I don't know. The pre-aspiration is also not universal in every dialect of SG and not all dialects have it on all three stops (some only have pre-aspiration on /k/, for example); in fact, the dialects closer geographically to Ireland are the ones that lack it partially or altogether, which tracks with Norse influence being greater historically the further north you go in Scotland.

And… not all Scandinavian languages have it either. Icelandic and Faroese have it. Seems to be an areal feature - whether it originated in Gaelic, or in Norse, or in another language from which it spread to both. I’m not convinced that Scottish Gaelic got it *from* Norse. And I don’t think AnLoingseach postulated that British and Scottish Gaelic share this change as a common feature they inherited from their parent language - but rather suggested a parallel development of the geminate stops (which then in Brittonic would have happened earlier).

Hoff iawn o'r syniad o system sillafu Celtaidd unedig, ond.... Dwi'n casáu sut mae'n wneud i'r Gymraeg edrych👀

Byddai’n hollol anymarferol. Mae’r iaith Gymraeg mor syml o ran orgraff, mor ffonetig. Dyna un o’i manteision i’w dysgwyr, boed yn rhai mamiaith neu ail iaith. Fyddai ddim diben mabwysiadu system newydd er mwyn digoni mympwy ysgolheigion a ieithegwyr. Dyma pam gurodd orgraff Beibl yr Esgob William Morgan gyfieithiadau rhyfedd ac ecsentrig William Salesbury.
