I can't find "troll" but a giant is "famhair" (m.) and a dwarf is "troich"(f/m.) Take your pick.

...ach dè "Neanderthal man" anns a' Ghàidhlig? Oir tha mi a' creidsinn gur e sin a bha origin nan troll.

I would say giant is fuamhar, there is a place nearby my home town (Dingwall) called Novar which in Gaelic is Taigh an Fhuamhair (House of the Giant).

No idea what Troll is though!

Actually there are three common words for giant: famhair, fuamhaire and athach. As I said before, take your pick. Dèan do roghainn.
