A Scottish Gaelic variant of 'ardri,' meaning a high king or supreme ruler among Celtic peoples.
Scottish Gaelic spelling of Irish 'ardri,' composed of 'ard' (high) and 'righ' (king, with Scottish pronunciation). Both spellings appear in medieval manuscripts describing the power structures of Celtic kingdoms.
In old Scottish and Irish histories, the title 'ardrigh' was so important that different regions spelled it slightly differently—the spelling itself showed which kingdom you were talking about.
