If Mice Could Fly

Andersen Press Ltd

The ebbing tide of my life compels me to take pen in hand and present for your scrutiny the strange circumstances surrounding the ancestral seat of the "Unlucky House of Stuart"; my home in the highlands of Scotland. Castle Stuart stands today as it was created in the year of our Lord 1625; repelling unwanted guests through generations. Weathered by violent atorms borne in the cruel North Sea, and battered by incessant winds which break upon its threshold; it offers no refuge to the uninvited. One of the oldest dwellings in that part of the country it stands desolate within sight of the Moray Firth and some five miles from the town of Inverness. Bo longer is it occupied, or should I say tenanted...but if you should ask any of thel ocal folk they will hasten to tell you that "there is no peace in that house" and herein hangs this tale.

Excerpt from The Gaelic Names of Plants (Scottish, Irish, and Manx): Collected and Arranged in Scientific Order, With Notes on Their Etymology, Uses, Plant Superstitions, Etc;, Among the Celts, With Copious Gaelic, English, and Scientific Indices It was absolutely essential that the existing Gaelic names should be assigned correctly. The difficulty of the ordinary botanical student was here reversed: he has the plant but cannot tell the name - here the name existed, but the plant required to be found to which the name applied. Again, names had been altered from their original form by transcription and pronunciation it became a matter of difficulty to determine the root word. However, the recent progress of philology, the knowledge of the laws that govern the modifications of words in the brotherhood of European languages, when applied to these names, rendered the explanation given not altogether improbable. Celts named plants often from their uses; their appearance; their habitats; their superstitious associations, &c. The knowledge of this habit of naming was the key that opened many a difficulty. For the sake of comparison a number of Welsh names is given, selected from the oldest list of names obtainable - those appended to Gerard's 'herbalist, ' I 597.
