James Macpherson (1736-1796) was a Scottish writer and poet known for his controversial works that claimed to be translations of ancient Gaelic poetry. His "Ossian" poems, though disputed for their authenticity, had a significant impact on Romantic literature and inspired writers like Goethe and Napoleon. Macpherson's contributions to Scottish literature and his role in popularizing Gaelic poetry have left a lasting legacy in literary history.
