Gaelic translation:Eireachdail
Explanation:
Assuming you want Scottish Gaelic. Irish Gaelic is completely different.

It depends on the context. Eireachdail is used for something/someone which is beautiful/handsome/spectacular to look at. Duine eireachdail is a handsome man. Sealladh eireachdail is a beautiful view. Bradan eireachdail is a magnificent salmon. It's a very masculine word, which is rarely used with women or femine things.
