    Ron, I think it is likely the McIan book you're looking for, because the plates in it are the same as on the STA site. It is an oversized book, and the plates are full page size. It has short clan histories as well. I think it wouldn't be too hard to get a hardcover copy if you prefer. If you want, I can take some pictures of my copy for you.
    Also, Abebooks is a great place to search for old or out-of-print books. It basically links used book stores with buyers. I've used it several times, including once to buy "Tunes of Glory" by Kennaway.

    Thanks guys,

    Used Powell's in Portland before, the abebooks is new for me. Still holding out hope that my little brother will somehow locate the book...but that's very optimistic.

    I do remember the art as much like the STA site. And I think I acquired the book in the very early '70s either at the Scottish shop in Alexandria, or Williamsburg, VA.

    Wow! So my little brother emails me today he bought me the book with the MacLeay paintings for my birthday and its on its way!!

    Don't know if that's the same book, but I'm a happy camper either way...and he probably is too to have me not asking after the lost book anymore.



    No chump change either...over $100 easy in U.S. dollars.

    Happy birthday to me....
