“The most important work on Highland Folk-lore and Tales since Campbell’s world-renowned Popular Tales.”—Highland Monthly.
“Never before has the development of the Ossianic Saga been so scientifically dealt with.”—Hector Maclean.
“Mr. Alfred Nutt’s excurses and notes are lucid and scholarly. They add immensely to the value of the book, and afford abundant evidence of their author’s extensive reading and sound erudition.”—Scots Observer.
“The Gaelic text is colloquial and eminently idiomatic.... Mr. Nutt deserves special mention and much credit for the painstaking and careful research evidenced by his notes to the tales.”—Oban Telegraph.
