( ibe admiration and gratitnde of all that have occasion to oon-
^vronderfiil store-honse of philology and antiqnarianism. The
rorlc consisted of two qnarto volumes, which were published at
DL by subscription, in 1808, and dedicated to G^rge, Prince of
^ucb "vras the interest excited by the work, that zne additional
atributed by students of Scottish literature, and gleaned by the
the prosecution of his studies, accumulated in the course of a few
sucb an amount as enabled the author to produce, in the form of
ment^ other two volumes of equal size with their predecessors,
ere publielied at Edinburgh in 1825, and dedicated to his early
who had then become the King. After the death of Dr. Jamieson,
Mr. John Johnstone prepared a second edition of this great work,
k be incorporated the words of the Supplement, with their most
significations, into the original Dictionary. By omitting the quota-
Qtained in the Supplement, he was able to compress the work into
krto volumes, which were published at Edinburgh in 1840-41, with
rinal dedication prefixed. The same editor next prepared an
lent of the whole work, which was also published at Edinburgh in
L an octavo volume.
the copyright of this edition, which for several years had been out
, had fallen into the hands of Mr. Murray, Aberdeen, he resolved
nt it in a similar form, but at a greatiy reduced price. The editor
ok only to put the sheets correctly through the press. As he pro-
however, it occurred to him that a word here and there might
kgeously be added ; and, knowing that Dr. Jamieson was not person-
[uainted with the dialect of the northern counties, he asked contri-
from those who were qualified thus to enrich the work. To all
sponded to the request, therefore, the Editor and Publisher make
their grateful acknowledgments.
hen nearly the half of the work had been printed, the Editor had
a to visit the Orkney Islands, and, in addition to words indicated
ert Scarth, Esq., Banker, and contributed by Mr. Petrie, Kirkwall,
e procured a copy of the recently published " Etymological Qlossary of

panted the Editor, in the most generous manner, full permission to l
rlossanj, as fai* as available.
The Editor would also take the liberty of expressing his thai
At. Robert Duncan, Lesmahago, for the early interest he took i
fc'ork, and the valuable contributions ho communicated, as well
klr. jervise, Brechin, for several Forfarshire words. The Editor li
ourse, corrected whatever typogi^aphical eri-ors occurred in the wo
^as re-editing, and, in cases of doubt, hud frciiuent recourse to the oc
'olumes; in a few cases he has corrected what was erroneous,
Jtanter, fedmal, goiriicn^ tarricro*jk^ &.q.\ he has given about one hv
ind twenty additional explanations of woixls ; he has added one ha
^nd six various spellings ; and sixty synonyms, besides a few etymoli
LB has introduced seventy pithy, idiomatic, and illustrative exprafl
^nd the new words, from his own resources and the contributions indi
amount to about ^x hundred and ihirty.
In a work of such a multifarious nature, and containing so
rords from foreign languages, it would be wonderful if no crrai
iscaped the vigilance of the Editor ; but he trusts that such as may l
lovered will only be of a trivial nature, and that many will now poa
eliable key to unlock the valuable stores of otir Scottish literature^ i
Lre shut up in a language that is fast ])ecoming unknown.
Those Englishmen, who have taken but a superficial view <
k;ottish language, will learn from this work, that it is neither a colli
if barbarous sounds nor a corruption of their own tongue ; but th
he contrary, it has a common origin with the English ; and that|
Englishmen have changed the sound, altered the spelling, and dn
oany of the words of their forefathers, Scotchmen have preserved
^reat extent the primitive language of their Teutonic ancestors, in its i
utegrity, copiousness and force.
Under particular letters or combinations of letters, occasional rei
nil be found respecting the interchanges that take place in different
ff the country ; but, ^om circumstances stated by himself, it is ei
hat Dr. Jamieson's knowledge of the dialect of the northern Isles wi
imited to enable him to make any remarks on them. The Editor
herefore, advert to some of them here, that he may account for hi
laving introduced more words from that quarter than he has done.

In condnsion, the Editor begs to state, that it will afford him
ileasnre to receive from any of his intelligent readers such words as the^
[iscover to have been omitted, with specification of the distiicts in i
hey are nsed, as these will still be available when the work is
alnnitted to the press. Of such as he has lately received, he has a*

MEMOIR OF DR. JAMIESON.
Thk brief Memoir which, through the kindness of the surviving members
of Dr. Jamieson's family, is now prefixed to this Abridgment of his greatest
woik, possesses at least the essential qaalitj of being perfectly authentic. It
is in every particular compiled from a rather bulky manuscript autobio-
gtaphj, which was written during the later years of Dr. Jamieson's life, in
oompltance with repeated solicitations that ne would throw together some
memoranda of the leading occurrences of his public and literary career.
JoH5 Jamieson was bom in the city of Glasgow on the 3rd March, 1759.
Ss &iher, Mr. John Jamieson, was the pastor of one of the two Seceder
congregations which were all then established in that town. His mother's
name was Cleland. She was the daughter of Mr. Cleland of Edinburgh, a
man who seems to have enjoyed the friendship of the more distinguished of
the clergymen of the city, and who had married Bachel, the daughter of the
Rev. Robert Bruce of Garlet, son of the second brother of Bruce of Kennei
Tins reverend person, the great-grandfather of Dr. Jamieson, suffered per-
secution as a Presbyterian minister, during the troubles of Scotiand. Dr.
Jamieson's paternal grandfather was Mr. William Jamieson, the farmer of
Hill House, near Linlithgow, in West Lothian ; a person of respectable con-
nections, being related to several of the smaller landed proprietors of the
oonnty, and to some of the wealthy merchants of the then flourishing com-
mercial town of Borrowstounness.
The future lexicographer received his first lessons at a school kept by his
fiiher's precentor^ a person quite incompetent for the task of tuition. After
a course of very imperfect elementary instruction, according to a practice
then general, and not yet quite obsolete in Scotland, of leaving the English
language to shift, in a great measure, for itself, he was sent, in his seventh
vear, to the first class of the Latin grammar school of Glasgow, then taught
by Mr. William Bald. Bald was a teacher of a stamp not unfreqaently met
with in those times. He was an admirable boon companion, and possessed
of great humour, though more than suspected of undue partiality for the
sons of men of rank, or those of wealthy citizens who occasionally gave him
a good dinner, and made liberal ^^Gandlemaa OfferingsJ* This partiality
having been very unfairly manifested to the prejudice of the just claims of
the Seceder minister's son to the highest prize in the class, as afterwards
admitted by Mr. Bald himself, the pupil was withdrawn at the end of the
first year. He was then placed under a private teacher named Selkirk, who
is described as a worthy man, and with whom, in two years, and by the
unremitting care of his fj&ther at home, he made such progress, that he was
deemed fit to enter the first " Humanity," or Latin class, in the University
of Glasgow, when only nine years old. Dr. Jamieson, in commenting upon
Ida venr early appearance at college, gentiy expresses his regret that his ex-

IhiriDg his attendance on the prelections of Frofossor Moirhead, 1(^|
the mind of the yoimg stndent received that bias which inflomj^l
literary pursuits of his u^r life. " The Professor," he says, in t]|^|
biography above referred to, " not satisfied with an explanation of tllffi
of any classical passage, was moBt anxious to call the attention of hisfl
to the peculiar force of the terms that occurred in it ; particularly poin
out the shades of signification by which those terms, viewed as syiionym
differed from each other. This mode of illustration, which, at that tin
suspect, was by no means common, had a powerful iufiaencc in utFrac
my attention to the classical books, and even to the formation of langnag
genera], and to it I most probably may ascribe that partiality for ^lilol
cal and etymological research in which I have ever since had so n
pleasure."
The precariooB state of his father's health made the stndJM of l|
surviving son, already destioed to the ministry, be pushed forwai
anxions rapidity. The friendly Professor Mnirhead disapproved and]
Btrated ; but there was too good reason for the precipitance, for Jm
fiither afterwai'ds inl'ormed him, that he was much ol'raid that, hav£
long a prisoner from complicated disease, he would be early takoi
and, ae he had nothing to leave his son, ho was most desirous to fon
classical and profeissioual education. He was accordingly next aoa
to the Logic olass, though, as he remarks, " a boy of eleven years ofj

yytery of Glasgow admitting him as a stadeni of theology at the age of
he Professor of Theology among the Seceders at that period was the
William Moncrieff of ^oa^ the son of one of Mie four ministers who
oally seceded from the Chnrch of Scotland, from their hostility to
>nage, and who, suhsequenty, founded the Secession Chnrch. Though
according to his distingnished pupil, a man of extensive erudition, or of
« depth of understanding. Professor Moncrieff was possessed of qi^ties
more essential to the fulfilment of his imports^ office of training
g men in those days to the Secession ministry ;. and from the suavity of
isposition, and the kindness of his manners, he was very popular among
tadents. After attending Professor Moncrieff for one season at Alloa,
ig Jamieson attended Professor Anderson (afterwards the founder of the
ersonian Institution) in Glasgow, for Natural Philosophy, for which
loe he does not seem to have had any taste. While at the G1nM|pw
rersity, he became a member of the different Literary Societies formeoby
students for mutual improvement. These were then the Eclectic, the
ecHc^ and the Acctdemic ;. and he was successively a member of each of
1.
Hie Doctor relates many beautiful instances of the mutual respect and
ial regard which then subsisted among the different denominations of the
^ of Ulasgow, and which was peculiarly manifested towards his father
ng his severe and protracted illness. Comparing modem times with
e better days, he prophetically remarks : —
' If matters go on^ as they have done, in our highly favoured country,
some time past, there is reason to fear that as Httle genuine love will be
d as there was among the Pharisees, who, from sheer influence of party, in
rtain sense still ' loved one another,' while they looked on all who differed
1 them in no other light than they did on Sadducees. May the God of
rrace give a merciful check to this spirit, ^hich is not from Him ! "
!)r. Jamieson was himself, throughout the whole course of his life, dis-
dished by a liberal and truly Catholic spirit. His friends and intimate
nates were found among Christians of all denominations, though he con-
itiously held by his own opinions. If he ever lacked charity, it appears
ive been towards the Unitarians, a fact perhaps to be accounted for by
^arly controversies with MacgiU and Dr. Priestley. Episcopalians and
lan Catholics were among his personal friends, even when his position as
janng minister of a very rigid congregation of Seceders, in a country
1, made the association dangerous to bim, as being liable to miscon-
^on by his zealous flock.
Lfter he had attained the dignity of a student of Theology, instead of
escending to resume the red gown of the Glasgow student, Jamieson
ired to Edinburgh to prosecute his studies, and lived, while there, in the
e of his maternal grandfather, Mr. Cleland. He attended the prelections
e eminent Dugald Stewart, then but a young man himself.
hiring the young student's residence in Edinburgh, he made many
ible and desirable acquaintances, and acquired some useful friends. Of
number was the venerable Dr John Erskine, who continued the friend
mieson for the remainder of his honoured life. Dr. Erskine commanded
eneration and love, but he also felt great respect for the Evangelical
or's Moderate colleague, the celebrated Principal Robertson, the His-
.tii UEUOIR OF DB. J.U
loriiui. RiiberUon was \ong the leader of tho Moderate pEirty in thai
CnurU; and j'ovng Jamieson, though g. couecientious Seceder, and one
iiianoer dedicated from his birth to the service of the Secession Chortd

riclt, in Ayrshire, then a vary dreary and poor distriet. From the first

{[ave no enconrtgement, deeming: it his dnty to leave auch matters to
regular anthoritiea. His aext apointment was to the lale of Bat6, i
Cowckl, in Argyleshiro. The picture which bo gives of cbaractera an
mnniien>, long eiuco passed awny, and their conLiiUit with present tioMi
n little strilcmc. The venerable Doctor, in old age, relates, "I found
Kituntion nn this bonntiful island very comfortable. The place of |>tewA
wflii in UotheBBy. I lodged at & farm-house in the parish of Kiugartb ; aa
novor niet with more kindness from any man than tVom , the n
i>it«jr of the parish." This was not at all in noeordan:e with the Dooti
Kubsoqaent experience of the Established ministers in other parishes, i
purtictilnrly wlieo ho came to be settled in Forfar.
Mr. Jiintioson pnssed over to Cowul in the depth of a severe winter, t
was lodged in a wretched, smoky hovel, without even glsAS to the ap«rti
through which light waa received, and in which ho had to eat, sleep, a
study. Those wore not the palmy days of the Secession Church.
In the beginning of 1780, Mr. Jamieson was appaiiit«d by the Asaodi
Synod, fthe Sajireme Court of the Sccesfion,) to itinerate in Perthshirs a
tho neighbouring county of Angns. After preaching for several Sabbai
in Dniidce, in which there wna then a vacancy, he made so fnvoarablft
impreMAion, that tJie congregation agreed to give him a call to be their p
tor. But Forfkr, his next preaching station, was to be bin resting-place, ft
it proved fur niuny years an ongenial and dreary sojoiim. To Fcrrfkr
waa at that time, of course, a total stnmgeri and in old age he tontdiint
relates : — " Though I were to live much lon^'cr than 1 have done ainee tJ

The congregation of Forfar was at that time but newly formed, and had
nerer yet had any regular minister, being, by orders of the Presbytery, sttp-
pUed^ as it is termed, irom, Sabbath to Sabbath by young probationers and
others.
Three calls were at the same time subscribed for the popular young
preschctr : firom ForfEO*, from Dundee, and from Perth, where he was wanted
as a second or collegiate minister. The congregation of Dundee was large
sod comparatiyely wealthy, but the call was not unanimous, and Forfar
proined hiis ultimate destination. It is not easy to conceive a position *more
tiying, in every respect, than that of the young minister at his outset in
foriar ; and a man of less energy, although of equal talents, would probably
have altogether sunk under the opposition and persecution which he en-
countered. There was, however, one bright side : he had been affection-
sidy, nay, anxiously wished for by the whole of his congregation. Ho
knew that ho was in the path of duty ; and, piously resigning '* his lot into
the hands of the All- Wise Disposer of events," with the assurance which fol-
lowed him through life, ^ that his gracious Master would provide for him in the
way that was best," he looked forward to the future with firmness.
By degrees Mr. Jamieson became better known and better appreciated.
He acknowledges with marked gratitude the obligations he owed, in many
respects, to Mr Dempster of Dunnichen, a gentleman of high character and
considerable influence in the county, which he represented for some time in
Pariiament. This benevolent man was his first, and proved through life his
huBtest friend. Until his acquaintance with Mr. Dempster, which was
brought about by an accidental call, Mr. Jaiuieson's only social enjoyment
was in visiting at intervals seyeral respectable families in Perth and its
neighboorhood, or the hospitable manse of Longforgan in the Carse of
Gowrie, then a residence combining every charm. But the friendship and
influence of Mr. Dempster soon procured similar enjoyment's for him nearer
home. At Dunnichen he was at all times a welcome guest, and there ho
became acquainted, through the cordial introduction of Mr Dempster, with
all the lauded aristocracy of the county. This enlargement of Mr Jamieson' s
circle of social intercourse was further aided and confimied by his marriage
with the daughter of an old and respectable proprietor in the county, Miss
Charlotte Watson, youngest daughter o( Robei*t Watson, Esq., of Shielhill,
in Angus, and of Easter Rhynd in Perthshire.
With Mr. Jamieson*s very limited income of £50 per annum, it must
have appeared almost madness to think of marriage, even allowing for the
greater value of money at that time ; but the bachelor state is deemed in-
compatible with the ministry in Scotland ; and, besides, prudential considera-
tions will not always prevent a young man from falling in love. The union,
however, which lasted for more than half a century, proved in all respects a
most auspicious one. Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson had, no doubt, for a long
period, much to contend with, from limited means and a very numerous
ikmily, but tho energy and untiring industry of Mr. Jamieson made up for
all other deficienciea
Mr. Jamieson's confidence in Providence, and in his own energies, soon
began to reap its reward. To loneliness at home, and indifference, if not
neglect, abroad, there now succeeded strong domestic attractions, and the
ebteem and regard of many respectable neighbours.

even the testimony of liede has been treated as unworthy of mgt

He says — "Cum plurimam insnlffi partem, incipientes ab anstro

parts of it, for the Britons were poBsessed of the sonthoru."
There is not tho slightest reaaon to doubt, that, by the Britons, he rai
the Welsh ; as this is tlie name by nbicb he designs this people. It Is
known that Scandinavia bad been called Scythia by Jomandes, two
tiiries before Bedo's time. D« Orig, Get. pp. 5!l5-&y7. Is it said
JJede lived too long after the eotlloment of the Picts, to know any tl
certain as to their origin ? It is snIScieiit to reply, tiiat he nn<loubt
gives the received belief of bis time, which had been trnm-mitted from
coding ages, and which no writer, for nearly nine hundred years sSUXi
ever ventured to controvert. If Bedo could not know whonci -_

Gauls : it is the topography of North-Britain, during the second and I
centuries, as it contains a thousand facts, which solves all these dovbUj f
settles all controversy about the lineaj^ of the Picts." Caled. tU sup.
Although Bede knew somewhat about the names of places in Nor
Britain, we, in the nineteenth century, can form a fiir more certain jui
ment : and so powerful is this single argument from topography, ai
invalidate all other evidence arising from direct historical testimony.
Neunius, who wrote about the year 858, informs us, that " the Pi
came and occupied the islands called Orkneys, and afterwards, frt>m i
adjacent islands desolated many large regions, and took possession
those on the left, •.«*• the north coast (sinistradi plaga) of Britain, where tl
roniain even to this day/* ** There," he adds, '' they held the third part
Britain, and hold it even until now." Cap. o. ap. Gbde, I. 99.
Mr. Pinkerton has made a remark, the force of which cannot easily
sot aside, that both Neunius and his coadjutor Samuel ^^ were Welch," a
that " therefore their testimony is conclusive that the Piks were not Wei
for they speak of the Piks» wliile the Pikish name was in full powo
Euquiry, 11. 101.
That the Picts were not Welsh, appears also from the testimony
Gildas, an earlier British writer, who caUs them a iranfmcurine nation, w
came, ab itquilotu\ from the north. Ap. Gale, LI.
The Saxon Chronicle, which seems to have been begun about the yc
1000, perfectly concurs with these testimonies^ The account given oft
I^cts is so similar to that of Bode« that it would almost seem to have be
copievl from his history. It is moro minute in one point ; as it is said tb
they came, ex Australi |>arte Soythiae, ** fn>m the south of Scythia."
The northern origin of the Picts seems to have been admitted by Bom
writers. I shall not urgv the well-known testimony of Tacitus, with respc
to the striking rvsoniblanoe of the Caledonians to the Germans ; for, n(
withstanding the (vurtiality of former ages for this ancient writer, as i
accurate investigator and tisdthful historian, we are now told, that '' TacU
talked about the origin of the Caledonians and Germans^ like a man iri
was i,k: verj sk\i/ul in such investigations ; and who preferred dedamaik
to inquiry.'' Caled. p. ii'2, 2<f.

Edin. Ber. for Jnly 1803, pp. 367, 368.
The SuUmes have never been viewed as Celts, bnt generally acknow-
ledged as the more immediate ancestors of the Swedes, although some say,
of the Danes. The SUones, also a Scandinavian nation, were settled in
diese northern regions before the time of Tacitus. Ga^ar testifies, that
ihe Tentones and Cimbri, before his time, patrum nostrorum memoria^ after
haraBsing all Ghinl, had attempted to enter into the territories of the Belgae.
GaiL lib. iL o. 4.
Bat when ancient writers insinuate any thing unfavourable to our
anibar's hypothesis, he refuses to give them credit. We have seen with what
fineedom l^kcitus is treated on another point. Here he meets with the same
treatment, although in good company. *' When J. Caesar and Tacitus speak
of Celtio colonies proceeding from Graul into Germany, they only confound
those recent colonies with the ancient people, who appear to have been
mknown to those celebrated writers. Strabo, wJio was not well informed
with regard to Western Europe, acquaints us, indeed, that the Daci ah
aidkqitOj of old, lived towards Cfermany, around the fountains of the Danube.
VoL L 446. If his notion of antiquity extended to the age of ELerodotus,
ire might learn firom the &ther of history, that the Danube had its springs
aaoDg the Celtae." Caled. p. 15. N.
Respectable as the testimony of Herodotus is, it cannot, in this
instuioe, be preferred to that of Strabo ; for it is evident that he knew very
little of the Celts, and this only by report. The accurate and intelligent
Bennell does not lay much stress on the passage referred to. '* Our
author," he says, *' had heard of the Celtae, who lived beyond the colunms
of Hercules, and bordered on the Cynesiae or Cynetae, the most remote of
all the nations who inhabited the western parts of Europe. — Who the latter
ir«re intended for, we know not." Geog. Syst. of Herod, pp. 41, 42.
If the ancient inhabitants of Germany were unknoum to Caesar and
Tadtns, with what consistency is it said, only in the page immediately
preceding, where the writer speaks of Mascou's work on the ancient
Gennane, that " the Gothic people," whom he '' considers as the first
lettlers of his country,— obviously came in on the Celtic aborigines ; as ice
kam from J. Caesar and Tacitus f " Caled. p. 14, N. Could these cele-
brated writers acknowledge the Celts as aborigines, although '* the ancient
people" who inhabited Germany, '* appear to have been unknown to"
than?
He also takes it for granted, that the Goths were a difierent people
from the Scythians.
" Evciy inquiry," he observes, " tends to demonstrate, that the tribes
who originally came into Europe by the Hellespont, were remarkably
different, in their persons, their manners, and their language, from those
people who in afler ages migrated from Asia, by the more devious course,
around the northern extremities of the Euxine, and its kindred lake. This
striking variety must for ever evince the difference between the Oothic and
the Scyihianhordes^hxywG^er they may have been confounded by the inaccu-
racy of some writm, or by the design of others." Ibid. p. 12.
Tfaia assertion seems to have at least the merit of novelty. It is
probablj hagarded by our author, because he wishes it to appear that the

Perhaps the strangest foandation of Ur. C.'s theory, is his 4
with respect to the langaBge of the Belgae. He is well aware, I
appear from ancient history that their speech was Gothic, his wfaolb
must fall to the ground; becnnse it is nndenisble, that Belgic colon!
BOttled in Britain before thj invasion by Jalios Caeaiu'. To i

ile this point by the examination of any particular passages, as it is
nerally admitted, and easily proved." Edin. Bev. ut sup, pp. 366, 367.
Bat the assumptions of the learned writer, which we have considered,
e merely preparatory to the etymological evidence from Topography, which
i views as an irrefragable proof of his hypothesis. We shall first advert
what is said in order to shew that the Belgae were Celts.
** The topography of the five Belgic tribes of Southern Britain," he
serves, ** has been accurately viewed by a competent surveyor [ Whitaker,
muine Hist, of Britons, pp. 83-145], and the names of their waters, of
eir head-lands, and of their towns, have been found, by his inquisitive
ipeetion, to be only significant in the Celtic tongue." Caled. p. 16.
Candour requires that it should be admitted, that the Celtic dialects
sm to excel the Gothic in expressive names of a topographical kind. The
ihs have undoubtedly discovered greater warmth of fancy, and a more
toral vein for poeti(»l description, than the Gothic or Teutonic tribes.
leir nomenclatures are, as it were, pictures of the countries which they
labit. But at the same time, their explanations must be viewed with
serve, not oidy because of the vivid character of their imagination, but on
xmnt of the extreme ductility of their language, which, from the great
ftnges which it admits in a state of construction, has a far more ample
ige than any of the Gothic dialects. Hence, an ingenious Celt, without
i appearance of much violence, could derive almost any word from his
ither-tongue. Our author has very properly referred to Bullet's Diction-
ire, in proof of *' the great variety of the Celtic tongue ;" Calcd. p. 221.
r any one. who consults that work, must see what uncertain ground he
ads on in the pursuit of Celtic etymons.
The learned gentleman asserts, that the names in the five Belgic pro-
loes of South Britain are " only significant in the Celtic tongue." I dare
: pretend to say that I can give the true meaning of any of them, in
>ther langoage ; because there is little more than conjecture on either
e. But if it can be proved, that they may have a signification, in the
thic or Teutonic, as well as in the Celtic — and one at least fully as prob-
B — this argument must appear inconclusive.
**Tho Belgic Cantos^ in Kent," he says, "derived their significant
oe from the districts which they inhabited ; being the British Caint,
lifying the open country." This observation he applies, and it must
ly eqojilly well, to ** the Canine in North Britain ;" p 17. By the way,

he resolved into A. S. gare^ geartc, expeditns, and ea, aqna, q. the rapid
ntifftm, S. the yare stream. Lyne (C. B. what is in motion, what flows, p.

to Celt, lufiy Ion, lyn, what flows, water, a lake, a pool. Isl. Ion, stagnnm,
lacuna. Now, it is admitted, that ^ the Lunan in Angas, from its tranquil
flow, settles into a nnmber of small pools." There is no ncoessity for de-
riving Lidj which indeed seems the proper name of the river vulgarly called
Liddal or lAddel, from C. B. lUd, "a violent effusion, a gush;" or "O.
Ganlish lid, hasty, rapid," p. 47. It may be traced to Tent, lijd, transitus,
fyd-en, to glide ; to Akm. lid, liquor ; to Isl. lid, a bending ; lid-a, to hasten,
to pass with flight ; or to A. S. hlid, hlyd, tumult, noise, like Lid in Devon-
ibire, whence LMUfard, A. S. hlyda-ford, which Somner thinks denominated
from its noisy motion. Nid is derived from C. B. nidd, neth, " a stream
that forms whirls or turns," p. 47. A. S. nithe is used in a similar sense ;
miike cne, genibns flexis, with bent knees, from nith-an, deorsum. Nethy and
Sethan are said to be diminutives of the C. B. word. But ^\'ihan is prob-
ably from A. S neothan, downwards, q. what descends ; and Nethy may be
q. neoth-^a, the water which descends, or the stream that is lower, in
respect of some other. Gn Orr in Fife, and Orr, Urr, in Galloway, Mr. C.

river, p. 48. Sn. G. ur denotes stormy weather ; Alem. ur a river, because

[iTen iSiein by the neighbouring Celts, who had saffered so much from
as they invaded and took possession of part of their territories. Bat
' aatbor commends the Glossaries of Schilter and Wachter as elaborate,
N. (b), as be jnstly acknowledges the writers to be ^' vastly learned,"
their sentiments merit some regard. Schilter says — " That the name
Belgae is Q^rman, certainly hence appears, that this people were of
man origin, and haying crossed the Rhine, yanqmshed the Graals in
lands which they occupied." He then cites the passage from Caesar,
irly considered, adding — '* This migration took place before the irruption
> Cimbri and Teutones, which was A. Ill before Christ; because
ir says that this was Patrum memoria nostrumj but the other must
been long before, because he uses the term antiquitus" He derives
ame from Alem. helg-en^ to be enraged, a term used by Notker, and
n Alsace and Belgium. Thus Belgae is explained as equivalent to,
Dsbundi et irritabiles.
V^achter seems to give the same etymon, to. BcUgen. He observes,
mcient writers everywhere mark the wrathj^ disposition of the Belgae ;
Hoticnlarly Joseph us, Antiq. L. xix. c. 1, Bell. Jud. c. 16, when he
the Germans '* men naturally irascible," and ascribes to them '^ friry
vehement than that of wild beasts."
[L — But bendes the evidence arising from histoiy, it certainly is no
siderable proof that the northern parts of Scotland were immediately
ed from tibe North of Europe by a Gothic race, that otherwise no
iactory account can be given of the introduction of the Yulgab
QAGC.
[t has been generally supposed, that the Saxon language was intro-
1 into Scotland in the reign of Malcolm Canmore, by his good queen
ler retinue ; or partly l^ means of the intercourse which prevailed
sen the inhabitants of Scotland, and those of Cumberland, Northum-
nd, Westmoreland, and Durham, which were held by the kings of
and as fiefs of the crown of England. An English writer, not less
ignished for his amiable disposition and candour, than for the cultiva-
of his mind, has objected to this hypothesis with great force of
nent.
'* This conjecture," he says, " does not seem to be perfectly satisfactory ;
re the causes in themselves sufficient to have wholly changed the
lage of the country. If, at the present moment, the Celtic language
iHed over the whole of Scotland, instead of being confined to the
lands, such a testimony would compel them to admit, either that the
OS and Danes had been prevented by some unaccountable cause from
ipting to form a settlement on the northern shores of this island ; or
their attempts had been rendered abortive by the superior bravery and
of the inhabitants. But, as the same Teutonic dialects are found to
the basis of the language, both in England and in the lowlands of
and, Mr. Hume has been induced, and apparently with great reason,
fer, from this similarity of speech, a similar series of successive inva-
; although this success is not recorded by the historians of Scotland.
'* If this conclusion be admitted, it is evidently unnecessary to refer us
a much later period of Malcolm's reign ; or to seek in his marriage
an English princess, in his distributions of lands among his followers,

lalcolm Canmore, according to the testimony of Simeon of Durham
trompton, in his incursions into England, carried so many captives
lim, that they were afterwards seen, not only in every village, but in
house. Had this been literally the case, his army must have borne
resemblance to that of Xerxes. But although this had been literally
«e, would captives or slaves overpower the language of their masters ?

''this jealousy of strangers continued under Donal Bane ;" and that it
isioned insurrections under William the Lyon ? " Caled. p. 498.
[t is evident that some Saxon Barons, with their followers, received
in Scotland, during some of the succeeding reigns. But a few indi-
Is could not produce greater effects in Scotland, than all the power of
Gorman barons in England. It seems also undeniable, that the
ners of distinction who settled in Scotland, particularly in the reign
ivid L, were mostly Normans, and therefore could not introduce the

[t has been supposed that this unparalleled change was partly owing
casional intercourse with the northern counties of England, which
subjected to the Scottish crown. But this intercourse was by far too
)d to have any infiuence in completely changing a language. It would
3rB natural to invert the idea, and to suppose that the inhabitants of
countries had received the peculiar terms, which they retain in com-
with the vulgar of Scotland, from the residence of the Scots among

lis fort, firom the description given of it, appears to differ con-
rom those called PicHsh. It more nearly resembles the hUUforU^

lo inconsiderable argument against Mr. Eling's hypothesis, that
le, who was thoroughly acquainted with the Welsh Antiquities,
ison to think that these buildings were British,
ea, it would be natural to conclude that, if the Picts were origin-
are now called Welsh, and had learned this mode of building
ancestors in South Britain, such remains would be far more
diffused in that part of the island. It is evident^ indeed, that
ztures were unknown to the Britons in the time of Julius Caesar,

very strange hypothesis, apparently with a design of setting it

LS was in Britain, saw the British fortresses, and on their return
them. Munim. Antiq. iii. 187. But this theory is loaded with

1, there is no evidence that they ever were in Cornwall or South
Besides, although they had seen such buildings, the South Britons
re this time having been completely brought into a provincial
he Romans, they must necessarily have become acquainted with a
rchitecture far Euperior to that of the subterranean description,
nly know that it was because they were enervated by luxury that
me BO easy a prey to the Picts and Soots. Now, if the Picts were
to imitate their enemies, a rare thing, especially among savage
rould they not have preferred that superior mode of architecture
?y must havo observed wherever they went ? Did they need to
don to learn the art of building dry stone walls, when, for more
centuries before this, so many Roman ca^teUa had been erected
•wn frontiers ?
should be supposed, as this theory is evidently untenable, that
it Celts brought this mode of building into Scotland with them,
I it that the Irish Celts of this country universally ascribe these
k race of people different from themselves ? As they were un-
of the same stock with the Welsh, and seem, in common with
lave had their first settlement in South Britain, how did the Irish

It is well known that there are round towers in Ireland, resembling
those at Brechin and Abernetby, and that some intelligent writers attoriba
them to the Danes, altbongk Sir James Ware claims the honour of them to
hie own conntrymen ; Antiq. I. 120. The DoKei-Raihi), as another icind i>f
building is denominated in Ireland, are evidently the same with the Picts'
houses. Their dcscriplion exactly corresponds; Ibid, I. 137, 13^, Th«w
Ware acknowledges to be Danish ; although his editor Harris differs from
him, because EatK is an Insh vrord. Dr. Ledwich, who contends for tha
Danibh origin of these forts, expresses his " wonder at Mr. Harris, who
inconsiderately argues for the Celtic origin of these forts, and thitt solely
from their Irinh appellation, Rath, which, though it figuratively imjiortsK
fortresB, primarily signified Bccurity." He adds — " li my opiniou it is
doubtful whether Ralh is not a Teutonic word -, for we find in Germany,
JoDkerrayi^, ImmerrflA/, JiiiAf-vorwald, &c., applied to artificial mounts and
placta of defence, as in Ireland." Antiq. of Ireland, p. 185. Perhaps his
idea is contirmcd by tbe use of A, S. vrraeth. Although it primarily- sigoi-

OF THE SCOTTISH LANOUAOB.
le learned gentleman has not mentioned that one of the ^^^ands
ir. King rests his judgment is, that " the Pictish buildings, or
lied, resemble the British remains in Cornwall and South Wales."
iar thaty while both lay down the same general principle, as a
rgiunent in proof of the Celtic origin of the Picts, the one should
prove that these structures are Celtic, and the other strenuously
lat they are Scandinavian, and that the Picts had no hand in
ion.
;:hief reason assigned for the latter hypothesis is, that " those
strengths, only exist in the countries where the Scandinavian
cted settlements,'* being " only seen in the Orkney and Shetland
Gatimess, on the coast of Sutherland, and in the Hebrides, with
ihe west coasts of Boss and Inverness ; " Caled. p. 342.
in a work of such extent^ and comprising so many different ob-
s not surprising that the various parts should not be always
; to each other. The author has, in one place, referred to the
eons buildings in the parish of Lifif, as of the same kind with

ibterraneous works in the parish of Bendothy, expressly called

None of these places are within the limits assigned for the

ral others might have been mentioned. Some, in the neighbour-
^erth, have been described. V, Pennant's Tour, III. Apend. p. 453.
rish of Stonykirk, Wigton, are some remains of Druid temples and
astles ; Statist. Ace. ii. 56. Edwin's hall, parish of Dnnse, Ber-
)rresponds to the account given of the Castles in Glenbeg. " It is
to have been a Pictish building ; " Ibid. iv. 389, 390. " The
mis in the parish of Castletown, Roxburghs., are commonly called
Tks;" Ibid. xvi. 64. It appears, then, with what propriety it is
b *' the recent appellation of Pictish castles, or Picts houses, has
d given to those in Orkney and Shetland in Caithness, and in
id.^' Caled p. 343.
Chalmers has given such an account of the remains of one of these
be parish of Castletown, as plainly to shew that it corresponds to
ich he elsewhere calls Scandinavian. " There are two of those

s, one on Cocklaw, one on Blackburn, and one on Shortbuttrees.
le ruins of this fort were lately removed, there was found, on the
e of it, a place which was ten feet wide, and twenty feet long, and
^ with flat stones, and enclosed by the same sort of stones, that

intimate its culinary use, ashes and burnt sticks." Caled. p. 94.

Kenneth llacalpin the impolicy of driving miiny of the Picta into tb
northern extremity of onr island ; whence tbey Hed to the Orkney nai
{Shetland ieles." But it has been Been that these desigtiations are not oou
fined to the districts mentioned. Besides, to tiapjKMie such a mode o
denomination, is entirely opposite to the analogy of tradition ; lor it v
almost nniversally ibund that the works of an early age, instead of bein)
^Ten to the more ancient people, to whom they really belong, are usuribei
to thoEo of a later age, who have made some considerable tigure in tbi
Oonntry. Tbns, in many places in Scotland, camps, undoubtedly Bomiui
are vnlgarly atlribated to Danes. Kor is it at all a uatorsJ snpposition
that, in tboee very places said to have been oecopied by Scaudinaviu
settlers, theiv descondanta shoold be so extremely modest as to gire awa)
the merit of these strnctnrcs, whii;h they continne to view with wonder aa<
veneration from their own ancestors to an earlier race, with whom they an
supposed to have been in a fital« of constant hostility, and whom thej «itlw]
expelled or snbdued.
The idea that these dewgnations originated from " the labatouB story'
of the Picts being driven to the northei'u extremity of our island, luw W
better foundation than what has been already considered. The g«nen
opinion was entirely different from this. For it was "asserted by ignomnco
and beli-v«d by eredulitij, that Kenneth made so bad an nse of the powa
which he had bo adroitly acquired, as to denim) ilw vhih I'ictiilt penjiU it
the wantonness of his cruelty ;" Calod. p. SUS,
I shall only add, that it is not easy to avert the force of Mr. King*!
argument against these being viewed as Danish works. They are to b(
seen in parts of the conntry into which the Danes never penetrated. Hi
refers to thai, called Black Castle, in tbe parish of Moulin, in that tlirisiot
of Perthshire called Aihole; Mnnim. III. 199. In the Statist. Ace it ii
said — " The vestiges of small areolar buildioga, supposed to have beM
Pictish forts, are to be seen in different parts of tbe parish;" P. Monlin, v,
70. Mr. King, after Pennant, also mentions one on the hilt of J>rw»vmM
opposite to Tavmontb ; another, within view of that, above tlie chnrch ol
Fortingall; a third opposite \o Alt-vihuie, ia the ueighboorbood ol' KilUni
a (onr^ under the house of Cashly ; a filth, about half a mile weat, Ac; V.
Pennant's Tour, 1772, pp. 50-63. "Most of these," says Mr. King, "lie in
Ulvn Lion; and they shew how nnm.rous these kind of strnotures were, is
what was once tbe I'icU country."
It has also been asserted that " tie same Celtio people, who colonised
South and North Britain, penetrated into Orkney, but nol iiilu Ut« SM-
land ulaiidj." The reason for this assertion is, " that no stone monuments "
nor " flint arrow-heads " have " ever been discovered in the Shetland
ioland8;"Cnled. p. 261. N.
But obelisks, or flavding stones, are found even in the ShoUnnd islands,
into which the Celts never penetrated. Contignoos to one of the Vviyhi
in Wall^ " there is n range of Urge atones that runs across the neck of
land, and may hnve liecn intended to enclose tlie spot, as s place of barial,
which the bnilding does not occupy ; " Statist. Ace. tk. 113. In BroMay,

[And, a thick and shapeless rock ; the other, near TJj a Sound, seems
re been a mark for diluting into that harbour, and is ten and a half
igh ; " Ibid. t. 201. WheUier flint arrow-heads have ever been dis-
&d. in Shetland, I cannot well say ; but I have seen knives, made of a
of agates, which were foond in one of the Burghs ; and am certainly
ned that atone hatchets are frequently met with of ^e same kind with
found in Cairns in Scotland,
7. — ^The abanrd idea of the extermination of the Picts by the Scots, as
IS that of their expulsion, is so generally exploded that it is unneces-
to say any thing on the subject It is incredible that a people who
to have been &r less powerful than the Picts, should have been able
r to exterminate or to expel them. Could we suppose either of these
fcs to have taken place, what mast have been the unavoidable conse-
oe ? Either that the extensive country called Pictland must have
ined in a great measare desolate, or that the country of the Scots
> have been deserted. For it cannot reasonably be supposed that the
i, an at once, especially after a succession of bloody wars with the
I, should so increase in numbers as to be able to people, and still less
»fend, the whole of Scotland and its adjacent islands.
The only reasonable position therefore is, that the Picts in general
ined in their former seats. Now, if it appear that the people presently
biting these districts retain the If aues which belonged to the Picts, it
strong proof that they are the lineal descendants of this people. If it
ter appear, not only that these names are not Celtic, but that they are
ame, or nearly so, with those of the Scandinavians, as they are trans-
sd to us in their most ancient monuments, it must amount to a proof
the Picts had a Gothic origin.
R«>8idine in the county of Angus, which all allow to have been a part
le Pictish dominions, I had many years ago employed this as a test of
origin of the people. I was induced to make this trial, from the
instance of finding many words commonly used there, which I
not found any where else, and which, upon examination, appeared to
le same with those that euro still used in Iceland and other Gothic
ns.
The multitude of monosyllabic names must strike every one who
3S through that part of our country. Now, it is well known that this
8 a distiDguishing character in the nomenclature of Scandinavia;
the names, universally admitted to be most ancient, generally consist
le syl labia
Upon ccmparing many of the names in Angus, whether of one or more
bles, with those in Uie Afonumenta Danica of Wormius, in Frode's
ia, and especially in that singular work, the Landnamabok, which gives
!X^ount of the di&rent families that settled in Iceland about the middle
le ninth century, it appeared that many of them must have been origi-
' the same.
They are Buch as do act occur, as &r as I have observed, in any
oriais of the Anglo-Saxons. Although a greater analogy were observ-
here, it could be only set down to the account of the common origin
« variooB Gothic tribes. For the names, in Angus, could not reason-

ably be ascribed to Saxon settlers, unless it were supposed that thi
had in great part received its population from England. They
accounted for, on the idea of any Scandinavian settlement in
ages ; for it is universally admitted that no such settlement extendi
southward than Boss-shire.
A writer of g^reat research, to whom we have had occasion
to refer, has indeed lately attempted to show that all the namt
Pictish kings are British. " The names of the Pictish kings/*
'* have not any meaning in the Teutonic ; and they are, thercforeyi !
They are not " Irish, and consequently are British ; ^ Caled. p. 207^
I must make the same observation as before with respect to the to^
1 cannot pretend to give the true meaning of these names, as thi
branch of etymology so uncertain as this. But if I can give a
and one which is at least as probable as the ether, it must appear
Teutonic, as far as names can go, has as good a claim ta the ro]
the Picts as the British. These names vary eonsiderably in the
chronicles. Where any name is given according to a different
from that adopted in Galed. p. 20(5, it is printed in Italics. Wh<
is a blank in the middle column, no British etymon has been givei

VI. — The analogy of ancient Customs also affords a powerful test of
be affinity of nations. I need scarcely mention the almost inviolable
itachment manifested to these, when transmitted from time immemorial,
f>pecially if connected with religion, or uphold by superstition.
The Celtic inhabitants of this country observed one of their principal
easts on Hallow-eve, which is still called SamJCin, V, Shannach. But
here is no memorial of any festival at the time of the winter solstice. The
lames which they have given to Christmas, Com. Nadelig^ Arm. Nadelek,
jael. NoUig^ Fr. Noel^ Nouel, are all evidently formed from Lat. NatdUis,
.e. dies natalis Christi. In Corn, it is sometimes more folly expressed,
ku Nadeli'g, literally, Ood's hirth-d^iy. In Ir. it is called Breatft^hiy Breithla;
lot this means nothing more than birth-daij.
Thus it appears that the Celts have not, like the Goths, transferred
be name of any heathen feast to Christmas ; which nearly amounts to a
iroof that they previously celebrated none at this season. The matter is,
ddeed, more directly inverted between the Goths and the Celts. The
jrmer, observing their principal feast in honour of the Sun at the winter
Iriii DISSIKTATIOV ON THE OBIQllf
solstice, transferred the name of it to the day on which it is snp;
Savionr was bom ; and adopted the Christmn desig^nation, snch
tianitr then appeared, of Kons-maessii, or Bood-day, for the day
in Gommemoration of the pretended Invention of the Cross. On
hand, the Celts, continning to observe their great annual festi'
originally in honour of the Son, in the beginning of May, re
pagan designation of Beltane j with most of its rights, while they
the Christain name of the day observed in commemoration of the
our Saviour. This difference is observable in our own country to
I day. In those counties of which the Picts were the permanent inh
: t^pecially beyond Tay, Ttde and Rood-day are the designations s
while Beltane is unknown, and Christmas scarcely mentioned. But
! Wlonging to the Celtic territories, or bordering on it^ particular!
^Yosl\>f Scotland, Tule and EiXHJ-day are seldom or never mention
; This of itself affords no contemptible proof that the Picts
Oothic nation, and that they still exist in those districts which
5it\sso\l by their ancestors ; especially when viewed in connexion
' >rriHit similarity between the rites still retained in the North of
I ttiid thi^s*^ formerly common throughout the Scandinavian regions,

who will take the trouble to consult this article in the DictionarjJ

so great a part of the eastern coast of what is now called England
irlj peopled by the Bkloae, it is hardly conceivable that neither so
dng a people, nor any of their kindred tribes, should ever think of
g their descents a little farther eastward. For that the Belgae, and the
its of the countries bordering on the Baltic, had a common origin,
nns to be little reason to doubt The Dutch assert that their pro-
were Scandinavians, who, about a century before the common era,
and and the neighbouring territories, in quest of new habitations,
opte Historic van't Yaderland, i. 3, 4. The Saxons must be viewed
Qck firom the same stock. For they also proceeded from modem
and its vicinity. Now, there is nothing repugnant to reason in
ig tiiat some of these tribes should pass over directly to the coast
land opposite to them, even before the Christian era. For Mr.
er admits that the Saxons, whom he strangely makes a Gaulic
in the second century applied themselves to navigation, and soon
fonaidable to the Romans. Hist Manch. B. i. c. 12. Before they
ecome formidable to so powerfril a people, they must have been at
» well acquainted with navigation, as to account it no great enter-
cross from the shores of the Baltic over to Scotland, especially if
ok the islands of Shetland and Orkney in their wa^.
we have seen that, according to Ptolemy, there were, in his time,
t tribes of Belgae settled on the northern extremity of our country,
st natural idea undoubtedly is, that they came directly from the
nt. For had these Belgae crossed the English Channel, according
common progress of barbEtrous nations, it is scarcely snpposable that
md would have been settled to its utmost extremity so early as the
Igricola.
lere is every reason to believe that the Belgic tribes in Caledonia,
ed by Ptolemy, were Picts. For, as the Belgae, Picts, and Saxons,
3 have had a common origin, it is not worth while to differ about
These frequently arise from causes so trivial that their origin
s totally inscrutable to succeeding ages. The Angles, although
le tribe, have accidentally given their name to the country which
vaded, and to all the descendants of the Saxons and Belgae, who
f far more numerous.
is universally admitted, that there is a certain National Character,
xtemal kind, which distinguishes one people from another. This is
3 strong, that those who have travelled through various countries, or
xairately marked the diversities of this character, will scarcely be
d even as to a straggling individual . Tacitus long ago remarked
iking resemblance between the Germans and Caledonians. Every
r, at this day, observes the great difference of features and com-
between the Highlanders and Lowlanders. No intelligent person
land is in danger of confounding the Welsh with the posterity of the
. Now, if the Lowland Scots be not a Gothic race, but in fact the
lants of the ancient British, they must be supposed to retain some
1 resemblance to the Welsh. But will any impartial observer
) to assert, that in feature, complexion, or form, there is any such
ity as to induce tbe slightest apprehension that they have been origi-
le same people ?

BONNET. Blue Bonnet. This, in former times, in
Teriotdsle at least, wat used as a charm, especially
for warding off the evil Influence of the fairies. *' An
unchristened child was considered as in the most
imminent danger, should the mother, while on the
straw, neglect the precaution of having the blue
bonnet worn by her husband constantly beside her.
When a cow happened to be seized with any sadden
disease (the cause of which was usually ascribed to
the malignant influence of the fairies), she was said
to he elf-shot ; and It was reckoned as much as her
life was worth not to ' dad her wi' the blue bonnet.*
* If s no wordle a dad of a bonnet,* was a common
phrase when expressing contempt, or alluding to any-
thing not worth the trouble of repairing."— JBdin.
