Excerpt from The Popular Superstitions and Festive Amusements of the Highlanders of Scotland
Nor have all those superstructures yet exhausted so fertile a mine. Notwithstanding all the research that has been employed in tracing the origin, and delinea ting the manners of the inhabitants, and the many ingenious descriptions we have had of their local sce nery, there are still many hidden treasures left for discovery, which presently languish in obscurity. This observation applies with great truth to those more remote and romantic regions which, from their se cluded situations, had been long inaccessible to the approach of learning and genius; and where the na tive inhabitants, from want of intercourse with' their more refined and effeminate countrymen, are the true representatives of our ancient forefathers in their various feelings and habits.'
