We have no estimate of the number in Shetland, but there also they are very numerous. Not less remarkable is the number of the early “dwellings of strength,” of which Mousa is the type—huge edifices, constructed with amazing labour and wonderful skill. (See under Maeshow and Mousa.) Footnote 2: The Frisic Sea is supposed to mean the Firth of Forth.

(See the Irish Nennius, Irish Archæological Society, p. 18.) Footnote 4: Ireland was then called Scotia. Footnote 5:
