Notes 1 "ORAN UR AIR SEANN SEIST. Le LACHAINN MAC-GILLEAIN. Lachlan MacLean was born in Coll. He was an enthusiastic Gaelic scholar. In his “Adhamh ’us Eubh” he attempts to prove that Gaelic was the language of Paradise. He wrote a learned history of the Celtic language. He contributed to the Cuairtear over the signature of MAC-TALLA. He was in the hosiery-business in Glasgow."
