Excerpt from General View of the Agriculture of the Hebrides, or Western Isles of Scotland: With Observations on the Means of Their Improvement, Together With a Separate Account of the Principal Islands The first written accounts which we have of the Hebridians, occur in the Chronicle of Mann; and these are scanty and confused nor indeed is the loss of their history of much consequence during the latter periods, (or even from the reign of Alexander III.) when they were finally annexed, by a specific agreement, with the Scottish Crown. What we regret most is the loss of their annals during the era of the introduction of Christianity and the age which preceded it, as well as that of their connexion with the Roman transactions in Britain.
