Notes: James Macpherson (1736 1796) was a Scottish writer, poet, literary collector and politician, known as the translator of the Ossian cycle of epic poems, which he claimed to have collected by word-of-mouth. The authenticity of Macpherson's translations was, however, challenged. Malcolm Laing (1762-1818), Scottish historian and politician, was particularly open about his belief that Macpherson's poems were simply modern compositions. He first put forward this theory in an appendix to his History of Scotland (1800), which included "a severely negative and insensitive criticism of James Macpherson's supposed Gaelic translation" (ODNB).
