Notes on Gaelic Titles

Cluig Pheairt  Gluig Phairst / The Bells of Perth D1; Cluig Pheairt / The Bells of Perth KB. The Bells of Perth. The expression ‘The Bells of X’ may have a romantic or modern feel, but Gaelic art and literature have always been open to wider influences and there is no reason to query its authenticity here.
