1A-HIST & CULT Address by Donald Mackinnon to the students (where?), Late 19th or early 20th century
This is an address to the students of Celtic at the University of Edinburgh by Donald Mackinnon himself. It seems to have been noted as two separate items in previous historical records, but there is no obvious indication that this is two separate documents. There is no indication of where or when the address took place, but it seems to have been unusual for Mackinnon to address the students in Gaelic.
