PREFACE. TH E following Diflertations are tjie production of the leifure hours of a clergyman in one of the remoteft of the Scottifh ifles. Excluded, by the pecu- iituation of the place of his refideiice, from the fociety of the learned, he indulged his Angular paflion for litera- ture among a few good books. Though the natural bent of his genius turned towards the belles-lettres, he fometimes amufedhim- felf in difquifitions of a more ferious nature. Being mafter of the Celtic, in all its bran- ches, he took pleafure in tracing other lan- guages to that general fource of all the aq- tient and modern tongues of Europe. From inveftigations of this kind many difcoveries in the ancient hiftory of nations arofe. This naturally led to the examination of the mafs of fi<flion, which almoft every nation of Europe poffeffes for the hiftory of their re- moteft an ceftor s . Th ejngre he looked in to thefe legendaryjabrjcsjof antiquity, the lefs he found them capablc_of^eaiii^^ of criticifm. He therefore relblved to write fome general diflertations on that fubject^ a 3 which. vl PREFACE. which, if they could not eftablifh a new and more rational fyftem, would at leafl: cxpofe the abfurdity of the old. It was not altogether from a partiality to his own country that Dr. Macpherfon gave the firft place to Scotland, in his dif- quifitions. Though the Scots have as juft prctenfions to a high antiquity as any nation in Europe, yet their origin is peculiarly in- volved in darknefs. It was the misfortune of North Britain to have been almoil totally deftitute of letters, at a time when monkifh learning, and thofe religious virtues which arofe from afcetic aufterities, greatly flou* rifhed in Ireland, and among the Saxons in England. This was the cafe in the feventh ^nd eight centuries, the sra in which the Hibernian fyftems of antiquity were form- ed. The fennachies and fileas of Ireland made then a property of the Scots of Bri- tain, and, fecure of not being contradided by an illiterate, and I may fay, an irreligious race of men, affumed to themfelves the dig- nity of being the mother-nation. The par- tiality of Bede for his holy cotcmporaries of Ireland is well known. " The good man be- ' lieved and retailed whatever fidions were didated to him by the religious of a nation for whom he had the greatefl regard for their orthodoxy. The PREFACE. vli The almofl continual wars and anomofi- ties which fubfifted between the Englifh and Scots for many ages naturally gave birth to violent national prejudices on both fides. The learned of England could not diveft themfelves of that antipathy to their North- ern neighbours which had feized their whole nation. Though at variance with the Irifli in every other point, they agreed with them wonderfully well in extenuating the natio- nal antiquities of the Sects. Some of thofe gentlemen had the cruelty to extirpate the brave nation of antient Caledonians, left the detefted Scots of latter times ihould derive any honour from the military reputation of a people who once poflefTed their country. Happily for the prefent times, thofe prejudices which blinded both nations have, in a great meafure, fubfided. National a- verfions are loft in the antiquity of thofe national injuries from which they firft arofe. Whatever may tend to do honour to either nation is heard with candor, if not with pleafure, by both. They are, in ftiort, now fo much blended with one another, that whatever throws luftre upon the one, ought to be reckoned an acquifition of reputation to the other.—If to throv/ a new and ftrong light on the antiquities of a nation, refleds a 4 any tiii PREFACE. any honour upon it, the Scots of the prcfcnt age are much indebted to the induftry and learning of Dr. Macpherfon. He travelled back, it is true, into the regions of anti- quity with more advantages than others have "done, and therefore his fuccefs was propor- tion ably greater. A few additional obfer- Vations 1 am to make upon the general fuh- jtdi of the differtations, arofe, if they have any merit, from the difcoveries he had made 16 my hand. Some timfe before the total derelidiion of Britain by the Romans, in the reign of Ho- nbriu's, we find that the Caledonians were tiiftinguifhed into two capital nations, the Deutaledones and Veduriones. By thefe two branches 1 underftand thofe, who, a fhort time thereafter, were known by the names of Pids and Scots. It was after the departure of the Romans, that the defence- Icfs ftate of the degenerated provincials gave the Pids an opportunity of extending them-^ felves to the Eaftern counties to the South of the frith of Edinburgh. From the joint teftimony of all writers who examined the fubjedi the Pids of the earlieflages poffef- fcd only the Eaft and North-eafl coaft of Scotland. From their fituation, with ref- ped to the Scots of Jar-ghael, their country was PREFACE. ix was naturally called by the latter An Dua- chaeldoch, a word compounded of An Dua, or I'uat North, and, Caeldoch, Caledonian country. Some of the South-weft High- landers of the counties of Perth and Argyle diftinguiflicd to this day thofe of Rofs, Sutherland and Caithnefs, by the name of An Dua-ghaely and their country by the appellation of An Dua-ghaeldoch. This appears fo obviouily the etymon of Deii-ca- ledones^ that nothing but a total ignorance of the Galic language could permit antiqua- ries to have overlooked it. The etymon of VeBuriones is not fo ob- vious. We learn from the moft antient do- meftic records in Scotland, that a ridge of mountains, called Drum Albin, was the ancient boundary of the Scottifh territories towards the Eaft. The author of the X^\{- fertations has clearly demonftrated that Drum Albin is the chain of mountains which runs from Lochlomond, near Dum- barton, to the frith of Taine, in the county of Rofs. This Dorfum Britannia?, as it is called by Adamnan, abbot of lona, runs through the Weftern end of the diftrldts of Athol and Badenoch. Thai part of this ridge of hills which extends betv/cen thefe diftrids, for a length of more than twenty miicr. X PREFACE. miles, is called Drum IJachtur, This cir- cumflance is well known to many, befides the natives of that country, as the military road through the Highlands paffes that way. If we fhould fuppofe that Vachtury which is flill retained as the name of a part of Drum Albin, was once the general appella- tion of the whole, the etymon of Veduri- ones is at once decyphered. Vachtury though now taken perhaps in a more confined fenfe than formerly, literally iignifies the upper country. JJachturich is a word of the fame import with Highlanders ; and if the harfh Celtic termination is foftned into a Roman one, Vedluriones differs only in a changea- ble vowel from JJachturtch, We have reafon to believe, from the un- favourable climate, and flerile nature of the foil, in that part of Scotland which lies to the Well of Drum Albin, that the ancef- tors of the Scots lived long in a very un- cultivated ftate ; as deflitute of great natio- nal events as of letters to tranfmit them to pofterity. Though the Scots of Jar-ghael muft, in the nature of things, have been very barbarous and unpolifhed, as far back as the latter end of the fourth century, yet it is to be hoped they were lefs fo than the Attacotti, their neighbours, or rather a tribe PREFACE. xi tribe of the Scots to the South of the Clyde, *' la my youth," fays the holy St. Jerome, ** I faw in Gaul the Attacotti, a Britlfh people feeding on human bodies.

  • Iliopsoas Tendonitis/Bursitis Exercises
    ILIOPSOAS TENDONITIS / BURSITIS What is the Iliopsoas and Bursa? The iliopsoas is a muscle that runs from your lower back through the pelvis to attach to a small bump (the lesser trochanter) on the top portion of the thighbone near your groin. This muscle has the important job of helping to bend the hip—it helps you to lift your leg when going up and down stairs or to start getting out of a car. A fluid-filled sac (bursa) helps to protect and allow the tendon to glide during these movements. The iliopsoas tendon can become inflamed or overworked during repetitive activities. The tendon can also become irritated after hip replacement surgery. Signs and Symptoms Iliopsoas issues may feel like “a pulled groin muscle”. The main symptom is usually a catch during certain movements such as when trying to put on socks or rising from a seated position. You may find yourself leading with your other leg when going up the stairs to avoid lifting the painful leg. The pain may extend from the groin to the inside of the thigh area. Snapping or clicking within the front of the hip can also be experienced. Do not worry this is not your hip trying to pop out of socket but it is usually the iliopsoas tendon rubbing over the hip joint or pelvis. Treatment Conservative treatment in the form of stretching and strengthening usually helps with the majority of patients with iliopsoas bursitis. This issue is the result of soft tissue inflammation, therefore rest, ice, anti- inflammatory medications, physical therapy exercises, and/or injections are effective treatment options.

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

    (60) Art. IIL—the PEOPLES OF ANCIENT SCOTLAND. Being the Fourth Rhind Lecture. this lecture it is proposed to make an attempt to under- IN stand the position of the chief peoples beyond the Forth at the dawn of the history of this country, and to follow that down sketchil}' to the organization of the kingdom of Alban. This last part of the task is not undertaken for its own sake, or for the sake of writing on the history of Scotland, which has been so ably handled by Dr. Skene and other historians, of whom you are justly proud, but for the sake of obtaining a comprehensive view of the facts which that history offers as the means of elucidating tlie previous state of things. The initial difficulty is to discover just a few fixed points for our triangulation so to say. This is especially hard to do on the ground of history, so I would try first the geography of the here obtain as our data the situation country ; and we of the river Clyde and the Firth of Forth, then that of the Grampian ]\Iountains and the Mounth or the high lands, extending across the country from Ben Nevis towards Aberdeen. Coming now more to historical data, one may mention, as a fairly well- defined fact, the position of the Koman vallum between the Firth of Forth and the Clyde, coinciding probably with the line of forts erected there in the 81 it by Agricola year ; and is probably the construction of this vallum that is to be understood by the statements relative to Severus building a wall across the island.

These are the days of little books, and when the author was asked to add one to their number, he accepted the invitation with the jaunty simplicity of an inexperienced hand, thinking that it could not give him much trouble to expand or otherwise modify the account given of early Britain in larger works ; but closer acquaintance with them soon convinced him of the folly of such a plan— he had to study the subject for himself or leave it alone. In trying to do the former he probably read enough to have enabled him to write a larger work than this ; but he would be ashamed to confess how long it has occupied him. As a student of language, he is well aware that no severer judgment could be passed on his essay in writing history than that it should be found to be as bad as the etymologies made by historians are wont to be ; but so essential is the study of Celtic names to the elucidation of the early history of Britain that the risk is thought worth incurring.
