A brief edition of early Christian oral traditions, poems and blessings, largely from the Hebrides, collected by folklorist Alexander Carmichael (1832 - 1912) over 40 years.when Gaelic was still widely spoken in the Skye, Uist, Oban and other islands in the mid 19th century. Carmichael transcribed oral literature from the recital of men and women throughout the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, from Arran to Caithness, from Perth to St Kilda, much of it presented in the multi-volume Carmina Gadelicta, published in 1900.
