The Works of Ossian, have long been thought to be fake, and a fraud written by James MacPherson. It fact many of the story's are contradicted by actual historical fact. The Clans use them when it suites them, but even their own histories come into question. The MacLeod's are the result of a human and fairy mix... does that sound plausible? The past Chief of Clan MacLennan, has a genealogy list which has Adam at the start. Myth has long been a component of Scottish history. With the advent of the internet, anyone can write whatever they want a share it with the masses. And before you know it the misinformation, or lie is being passed off as fact all over the world.
