James Logan (writer)

With Scottish patrons, he sustained a fair standard of living, and died in London in April 1872.

[2] Logan's major work was The Scottish Gaël, or Celtic Manners as preserved among the Highlanders (2 vols.

It was based on walking tours he had made in the Scottish highlands and islands during the previous decade, during which he collected Gaelic antiquities.

The work was dedicated to William IV, illustrated by the author, and sold well on good reviews.

[2] From a modern scholarly view, its value is largely in the Highland customs observed, with the historical material regarded as obsolete.
