WEST HIGHLAND STORIES.

1560, or thereal.iouts. From a rough sketch takfii fi-om a picture at Tay-

deny the existence of Gaelic poems, and affect to des-

modern invention. I have so often heard this gravely
maintained, that it may be as well to give some reasons
for a different opinion, and quote some authorities for
the antiquity of the " Garb of old Gaul."
