[edit]

I can't find any Brian or this story in any of the 19th versions of James MacPherson’s Ossianic stories. Anyone got a reference for what book / edition the tale of "She was held captive in the Land of the Big Women, freed by Cailleach (disguised as a fox) and Brian" The Cailleach, or a Cailleach (different ones) is some sort of witch usually in Irish & Scottish stories. The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore by Patricia Monaghan does mention the 3rd usage, but without citing a source, unless it's in an appendix, I only accessed Google Books extract. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.41.91.225 (talk) 11:51, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
