I am also grateful to the British Council for granting me a scholarship which enabled me to study at the Institute of History, University of Oslo and to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for financing an additional 3 months fieldwork in the Sunnmore Islands. My sincere thanks also go to Prof Ragni Piene who employed me on a part time basis thereby allowing me to spend an additional year in Oslo when I was without funding. In Norway I would like to thank Dr P S Anderson who acted as my supervisor. Thanks are likewise due to Dr H Kongsrud of the Norwegian State Archives and to Dr T Scmidt of the Place Name Institute, both of whom were generous with their time.

  • The Typological Study of the Structures of the Scottish Brochs Roger Martlew*
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 112 (1982), 254-276 The typological study of the structures of the Scottish brochs Roger Martlew* SUMMARY brieA f revie f publishewo d work highlight varyine sth g qualit f informatioyo n available th n eo structural features of brochs, and suggests that the evidence is insufficient to support the current far- reaching theories of broch origins and evolution. The use of numerical data for classification is discussed, and a cluster analysis of broch dimensions is presented. The three groups suggested by this analysis are examined in relation to geographical location, and to duns and 'broch-like' structures in Argyll. While the method is concluded to be useful, an improve- qualit e mendate th th necessar s an f i i t y o improvyo t interpretationd ai resulte o et th d san . INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW OF PUBLISHED WORK The brochs of Scotland have attracted a considerable amount of attention over the years, from the antiquarians of the last century to archaeologists currently working on both rescue and research projects. Modern development principlee th n si techniqued san excavationf so , though, have been applie vero brochsdt w yfe . Severa excavatione th f o lpase decade w th fe tf o s s have indeed been more careful research-orientated projects tha indiscriminate nth e diggin lase th t f go century, when antiquarians seemed intent on clearing out the greatest number of brochs in the shortest possible time. The result, however, is that a considerable amount of material from brochs exists in museum collections, but much of it is from excavations carried out with slight regard for stratigraphy and is consequently of little use in answering the detailed questions set by modern hypotheses.

Translation of Gaelic and English Songs, BY "FIONN/' THIRD EDITION. GREATLY ENLARGED. ALEXANDER MACLAREN & SONS, Gaelic Pudlishkus and Booksblleks, 360-362 Argylk Street. 1920. The Publishers solicit enquiries for the printing and publishing of Gaelic and English work of all kinds. Estimates gladly given. LAURir,TON CASTI.E LIBRARY ACCESSIUN PREFACE TO CELTIC GARLAND. " IN presenting this memorial edition of the Celtic Garland " to the Celtic public, I must at the out- set express my regret that publication has been so long delayed owing to the war. The delay has been due to the conditions created by the war, which rendered it inopportune to proceed with publication till now. The majority of the translations found in this work are the outcome of leisure moments, and have appeared in the columns of Highland Newspapers and Magazines. Urged by many friends to preserve those compositions in more permanent form, my father issued his earlier pieces in collected form in the first edition of the " Celtic Garland " in 1881. The present edition contains several pieces translated during the last ten or twelve years of his life. To all who have attempted rhythmical translations it will be at once admitted that the task is by no means an easy one, especially with languages like English and Gaelic, which are s^'y^ery , differentJn idiom. As regards trarislations from English to Gaelic, it will be observed that nothing like literal renderings have been attempted, my father always maintaining that such a course proved disastrous to the idiom of the mother-tongue.

  • Griogal Cridhe’ Aspects of Transmission in the Lament for Griogair Ruadh Mac Griogair of Glen Strae V
    ‘Griogal Cridhe’ Aspects of Transmission in the Lament for Griogair Ruadh Mac Griogair of Glen Strae V. S. BLANKENHORN ABSTRACT With the advent of Tobar an Dualchais (www.tobarandualchais.co.uk), the online trove of materials recorded from oral tradition during the last century and held by the National Trust for Scotland, the BBC, and the sound archive of the School of Scottish Studies, it has become easier to integrate study of published and manuscript versions of traditional materials – most of which date from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – with more recent orally-transmitted versions of the same materials. Such study has the potential to help us understand the workings of oral transmission over time, to evaluate the printed and manuscript sources of an earlier day, and to understand the complex inter- relationship between written and orally-transmitted traditional materials in the Gàidhealtachd itself.

While previous studies have collated and analysed the poetry of two of the other major impacts on Gaelic society at this time, clearance and emigration, there has so far been no concerted attempt to examine and place in context the corpus of Gaelic military material of the period – despite this verse being widespread in the poetic record. This poetry has been largely neglected by scholars of Scottish history, and, though selected pieces have been examined by scholars of Celtic Studies, it has not received the fullness of attention that such a major concern in the poetic record deserves.
