Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Place, Names, Highlands Islands of Scotland Dr Alexander Macbain's work on Names of Places deals with the Celtic names of pre-Gaelic origin which he calls "Pictish"; with Gaelic names, and with names of Norse origin which have been transmitted through Gaelic. The area from which he took his materials was chiefly Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Lewis. His views on the language spoken by the Picts are given in his paper on "Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland" (published separately), in his edition of Skene's "Highlanders of Scotland," and in several papers contained in this volume, particularly that on the "Place-Names of Invernessshire." His position is that the Picts spoke Early British or a dialect of it, and that the Celtic language of early Britain was practically homogeneous from the English Channel to the very North. He agrees with Kuno Meyer in holding that "no Gael ever set his foot on British soil save from a vessel that had put out from Ireland."

Download or read book The Historians of Scotland Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historians of Scotland, Vol. 2 In the proposed series of the Early Historians of Scotland, the Metrical Chronicle by the Prior of St. Serf's Inch in Lochleven conld not be overlooked. It belongs to the reign of King James the First, having been completed about the year 1426; but how long the author had been employed in compiling it can only be conjectured. We do not find the Prior's Chronicle mentioned by Walter Bowar, Abbot of Inchcolm, the continuator of Fordun in his Scotichronicon, yet it must, for at least a century, have been esteemed a work of historical importance, as may be inferred from the numerous transcripts of which we find traces, or which are still extant. In modern times Wyntoun's Chronicle was first introduced to notice by Dr. William Nicolson, Bishop of Carlisle, in his Scottish Historical Library, 1702. It was also described by Dr. George Mackenzie in Volume First of his Lives and Characters, 1708. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Scotland Before 1700 written by P. Hume Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scotland Before 1700: From Contemporary Documents To see these islands as Monro saw them in 1549 is essential to understand the relation of the Scottish kings to the Lords of the Isles, as well as the full debt that Scotland owes to the pre-reformation Church before the days of her decline. With this in view, therefore, the attempt has been made for the first time to identify the various islands he enumerates. Of the selections as a whole, one thing only remains to be said. It will be seen that in some cases the original language has been preserved, and in others modern ised. A satisfactory reason for this distinction seemed to be that where the change has been made, the original presented difficulties to the modern reader which it was desirable to obviate in the case of such a volume as the present.
