Synopsis
Excerpt from Papers
This year the Gaelic Society of Glasgow celebrates its majority. Founded in October, 1887, it has in its measure sedulously striven to realize its objects: The cultivation of the Gaelic Language; the cultivation and development of Celtic Philology, Literature, and Music; the elucidation of Celtic Antiquities; and the fostering of a Celtic spirit among the Highlanders of Glasgow.
Regular Meetings have been held during the winter months, at which papers have been read by every Celtic scholar of note in Scotland, as well as by some from England, Ireland, Wales, and the Colonies.
In 1891 it published its first volume of transactions, containing a selection of the papers read at its meetings up to that date. This was followed in 1894 by a second volume And now, largely through the generosity of the late Mr. Archibald Gray Macdonald, of 8 Park Circus, Glasgow, who bequeathed to the Society the sum of 7 so, it is able to issue its third venture, The Old Highlands.
This volume contains selected studies from papers and lectures delivered to the Society during the years 1895-1906. Many others of high value are not available for publication here, having already appeared in magazine or book form.
