Aye, but pronounce it properly. There is no combination of letters in English that makes the proper sound. Think of how a Scotsman pronounces loch (not lock, like many English speakers, especially yanks, say). So the first sounds is like in “key” and the second as in the ch in loch. There are variations on spelling—my family writes “keigh.”
Ah wiz up tae ma oxters in keich…
