Scottish Gaelic has not used the Gaelic/Irish typeface or script for at least two centuries, just the Roman one, so it would be odd to use it now., and few Gaelic-speakers would recognise it.
It's still used for artistic/decorative purposes in Ireland, so people would probably assume it was Irish.

Well there are some folk who use it privately (I do, and Michael Newton used to as far as I know) or for decorative purposes. So there's no harm in using it but be aware it's not a very common thing. A similar fate to Gothic script or Sütterlin in English in German I suppose.
Do, or do not. There is no try.
