Series
Identifier: Adv.MSS.73.3.16-73.3.21
Scope and Contents
The dictionary was written out during or shortly after 1800-1801 (watermarks).It is noteworthy that Alexander Robertson’s parish minister since 1790, the Reverend Allan Stewart (1762-1829), shared his interest in Gaelic lexicography: in 1823 the Reverend Dr Alexander Irvine, discussing Armstrong’s dictionary, wrote, “My co-presbyter Stewart Kirkmichael is labouring hard. His work will be more useful than Armstrong’s”. (Ingliston MS. A.i.5, number 25). Volumes 1-3...

Topographical dictionary of Scotland, recording the various localities of the country and the parishes in which they are contained, together with the rivers of Scotland.
Series
Identifier: Adv.MSS.20.1.1-20.1.5
Scope and Contents
The localities are listed alphabetically within each county: the counties are arranged topographically. The work appears to have been compiled from the map of Scotland by John Ainslie which was published in 1789 (Adv.MS.20.1.5, folio 94): the list of place-names in Norway is taken from Pontoppidan`s map of 1781. It is in a number of unidentified hands, with numerous deletions and alterations throughout. It is not known for whom it was compiled: it may have been for George...

Transcript made by Ewen MacLachlan of the Book of the Dean of Lismore.
Item
Identifier: Adv.MS.72.3.3
Scope and Contents
Manuscript in the hand of Ewen MacLachlan, Aberdeen, entitled ‘An t-Easpaig’ - presumably because it contains the work of the Dean of Lismore, whom MacLachlan calls (page 1) “Easpuig Leasmòr”. This is valuable, as being MacLachlan’s original Book of the Dean of Lismore transcript, subsequently (but not always accurately) copied by himself and others. (See Adv.MS.72.3.6). It does not strictly follow the order of the original, but the order in which MacLachlan found it easiest to read the...
