A comprehensive and detailed history of the Clan Macleod from the time of the eponymous ancestor Leod in the 13th century until the middle of the 20th century based on the documents preserved in the ancestral castle of Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye. The author has told the colourful story of the clan against the context of a general history of the Highlands with all its distinctive culture and traditions. The book includes scholarly appendices on Dugevan Castle and the heraldry, plant-badges and tartans of the Clan. It is illustrated by 3 colour plates, twelve monochrome plates and a fold out map showing the territory of the Clan Macleod in the Hebrides. Google Books...
