Summary

"The Celtic Magazine, Vol I, No. IV, February 1876" by Various is a magazine that gives us a look into the world of Celtic culture during the late 1800s. It contains articles about Celtic history, literature, and traditions, especially those related to the Scottish Highlands. One of the main topics discussed is the "Ossianic Controversy," which is debate whether or not the poems attributed to Ossian were real and truthful. P. Hately Waddell argues that Ossian's poems are genuine historical documents and that they can teach us important things about Scotland's past landscapes, specifically the levels of water in the Frith of Clyde. He challenges the scientific community to take these poems seriously and to rethink how they understand Scotland's ancient history and geography.
