Alexander Carmichael

Alexander Carmichael was a Scottish folklorist and writer known for documenting and preserving traditional Scottish Gaelic culture, especially religious prayers, prayers, and folklore. Living in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he traveled across parts of Scotland to record local customs, stories, and oral traditions that were at risk of disappearing. His most significant work, *Carmina Gadelica*, is a comprehensive collection of these traditions, offering valuable insights into Gaelic spirituality and everyday life. Carmichael's efforts helped ensure that Scotland's rich cultural heritage was preserved for future generations.
