A little slice of Highland clan history

[macwilkin]

I wouldn't argue with you. I just found it (McWhiney) interesting in general. The Irish Brigade was certainly of Celtic stock, but fought valiantly for the union.

I'd recommend MacKinnon and Grimble for those interested in "armchair" reading, especially about the clans and Sottish culture and history.

MacKinnon spends one part detailing the various clans "known"/'proven" to have existed just before the Jacobite "issues." The other part is prose about Scottish history and other "matters."

Gimble is long chapters organized around different matters and topics.

When folks ask me for a one-volume history of the Scottish Clans, I recommend Mackinnon.

Barnes and Noble publishes an inexpensive copy (source of all 3 of mine)

I picked up my copy of MacKinnon's book from the used section at Amazon for about six bucks - shipping took it to nine I think.
