The Dean of Lismore's Book

Note 54 — THE BOOK OF THE DEAN OF LISMORE.

Thomas Maclauchlan translation

This is said to be “Almhuin,” or Allen, the residence of Finn, according to Irish accounts, in the county of Kildare. The word has a strong resemblance to “Alba,” the Gaelic name for Scotland; and in reading ancient Gaelic MSS., care must be taken to distinguish the two. We give the name in the Dean’s orthography, whatever the place may be.
