I tried a couple of on-line Gaelic dictionaries and had no luck. Just now I looked in my Pocket Scots Dictionary and found, not sigodlin, but close:
sidlin(s), sidlings adverb 1 sideways, side on, to one side. 2 of speech or look indirectly. adjective 1 sidelong, moving or glancing sideways. 2 sloping, on a slope. noun a sloping piece of ground, a hillside.
