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.
