A fact from Fairy Flag appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 August 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know
- ... that the Fairy Flag is traditionally thought to have been a gift from the fairies to the chiefs of Clan Macleod?

Bannatyne manuscript

Was the Bannatyne manuscript that is referenced to within the article ever published? I think that if it was viewable on-line somewhere it could really add to the article. It was supposedly written by William MacLeod Bannatyne in the 1830s. Googling the term really only turns up the 1500s 'Bannatyne manuscript' written by George Bannatyne; and 19th century versions of it are viewable on GoogleBooks. I suspect the section "Traditional account from a manuscript dating to c.1800" deals with the 1830s Bannatyne manuscript, but unfortunately F.T. MacLeod didn't say that specifically in his article—he only said that that manuscript was quoting was written in about 1800.--Celtus (talk) 08:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
