Excerpt from Celtic Dialects: Gaelic, Brythonic, Pictish, and Some Stirlingshire Place-Names; Paper Read Before the Gaelic Society of Stirling, March 31st, 1903 On Tuesday evening, March 31st, 1903, in the Y.M.C.A. Rooms, Stirling, under the auspices of the Stirling Gaelic Society, Mr T. D. MacDonald delivered a lecture on the Celtic Dialects. The chair was occupied by the Rev.

Colin Mackenzie, president of the Society. The Chairman having briefly introduced the lecturer, Mr MacDonald said - This is not an attempt to show the various differences of provincial dialects that have always existed, and which still exist, within the Gaelic area; such, for instance, as the ia of the Northern and the ei and eu of the Southern Highlands. The aim is to show in some degree the various influences that contributed to the dialectic differences between the two main groups of the Celtic tongue, and why a Pictish, or would-be third group, need not be counted upon.
