Note 175 — THE BOOK OF THE DEAN OF LISMORE. (continued 2)
Thomas Maclauchlan translation
These satirical lines on the family of Dunolly are given as a specimen of the strain indulged in at times by the bards, to gratify their animosity against hostile clans. It need hardly be added, that the Macdougalls of Lorn were a race as distinguished for the antiquity of their descent, as for the high character of many of the name.
