OISEIN. A
Scottish form of Irish Oisín (q.v.), meaning "fawn."
Ossian is another Scottish
form.
... In the tale of "Dearg"
reference is made to Oisein's mother having been enchanted, wooed and
won under form of a deer, and in regard to this the late Rev. John
Forbes of Sleat, Skye, mentions in some of his notes in connection with
his, as yet, unpublished translation of Ossian's poems, that he, in
1858, interviewed at Kirivig (?) Callanais, Isle of Lewis, one Murdoch
McKay, aged 96, who recited to him the tale of Ossian being born of a
doe; in addition to numerous pieces introducing Fionn, Oscar, Caoilte,
Diarmad, etc... (Gaelic Names of Beasts, Forbes, 1905)
