The delay which for various unavoidable reasons has occurred in the publication of the large paper edition of this book has afforded an Opportunity for making considerable additions to it, as it first appeared. These additions are the work mainly of my fellow-clansman and namesake Mr Alexander Macrae, m.a., Bushey, Hertford shire, a gentleman who adds ripe scholarship and high literary attainments to an intimate knowledge of the Gaelic language and of the people of Kintail among whom his youth was passed.
