Reading edition

"Is in Brug, or Bruig." Mr. Petrie invariably translates this as "at" Brugh. But I observe that Dr. Standish O'Grady (Silva Gadelica, p. 256; and p. 289 of English translation) renders the Gaelic particle by English "in." To decide between two Gaelic scholars is not within my province. But if Dr. O'Grady understands "the Brugh" to be synonymous with Sídh an Bhrogha (as perhaps he does not), the adoption of his reading would lead to an inference which is opposed to common sense.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
