Description
Full of character, combining proper research with a sure eye to what attracts and sustains an audience's attention Scotland on Sunday
The story of the Highland clans is a gripping one, full of celebrated names and heroic deeds. It is also, as Alistair Moffat reveals, the story of a fearless people, shaped by the unique traditions and landscape of the Scottish Highlands.
Here, he traces the history of the clans from their Celtic origins to the coming of the Romans, through the great battles of Bannockburn and Flodden, to the Clearances and the present day. The story of the clans is also about the pain of leaving, with the great emigrations to the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Clansmen and women disappeared, but the memories have never faded. Even today, the power of the ancient clan names persists, drawing many back to this rugged corner of the world.
Complete with a clan map and an alphabetical list of the clans of the Scottish Highlands, this is a must for anyone interested in the history of Scotland.
