The favour with which they were received, and the support in document and illustration by the Earl of Antrim, as also the valuable illustrations from other friends, have swelled the reprint. As copies of the Gaelic Charter of 1408 can now be procured only with difficulty, the opportunity has been taken to insert it in the form of an appendix with the preface by the late Mr. Cosmo Innes, which originally appeared among the National Manuscripts of Scotland, 1867-72. It only remains for me, in adding to the cairn of numerous works on the great Clan of Macdonald, to express my obligations to my young, talented and energetic friend, Mr. John Mackay, Editor of the Celtic Monthly, and my appreciation of the handsome manner in which this reprint appears, in paper, type and illustration.

    KEEPING THE FAITH: THECA THOLIC MISSION IN THE HIGHLANDS 1560-1800 Sybil M. Jack Introduction The best method of propagating the Faith in these Islands is, first to send there missionaries knowing the Gaelic language, well grounded in virtue and inflamed with zeal for souls wrote Oliver Plunkett, archbishop of Armagh in 1671, of the Hebrides which he had just been asked to oversee. 1 Fifty years after the establishment of Propaganda Fide and nearly a hundred since Gregory XIII (1572-85) had established a congregation to oversee the needs of Christians in areas subject to heretical or non-Christian rulers, the provision of help to the Catholics in Scotland was still unsatisfactory - particularly in the Highlands.2 In the Lowlands, although Catholics were everywhere in a minority, there were still a few priests available. Significantly, when the division between the two areas was made in 1732 was linguisticJ The Gaelic language, virtue and zeal were not the only requisites for a Highland priest4 Indeed, qualifying took many years, depending on the level of education that the candidate had attained before his clerical training, and was a major undertaking at any age. It is no wonder that most of the priests were the offspring of at least moderately well to do families. Those like James Grant in 1724, whose family was too poor even to pay his viaticum, that is to say, the provision for the journey, needed some sort of scholarship to help them study. After 1560 for many years such study could only be done abroad and that required considerable funding.
