"The Dean of Lismore's Book: A Selection of Ancient Gaelic Poetry" by Maclauchlan et al. is a collection of ancient Gaelic poetry compiled during the early 16th century. This book showcases a selection of poems that were gathered from various sources by Sir James M'Gregor, the Dean of Lismore, and transcribed into a manuscript collection which serves as a vital piece of Scotland's literary heritage. The content reflects the culture, history, and traditions of the Gaelic speaking community in the Highlands. The opening of the text features an introduction that sets the scene in the heart of the Perthshire Highlands, describing the quiet and secluded environment where the M'Gregor family lived. It provides historical context about the family's lineage and their connection to the vicarage of Fortingall during a time of significant religious changes in Scotland. The introduction highlights the significance of the manuscript in preserving a lost Gaelic literature, capturing the essence of poetry passed down through generations. Throughout, there is a strong emphasis on the intricate relationship between language, culture, and identity within the Gaelic-speaking communities of the time.
