 Irish Dalriada/Ossain's grave

Ossian's poetry talks about the Irish heros Finn in the 3rd century and his exploits, and also Cuchulain (Cu Chulainn).
In the 1760's Scottish poet James MacPherson took the work as his own, which inspired much of the Gaelic poetry in the late 18th and early 19th century Scotland.
