There is a nice looking and affordable booklet style Clan history available for many clans by the same publisher including one for Clan Donald. Unfortunately, the book is full of errors and inaccuracies about the clan history so I've decided to write a Clan history for sale at our clan tent that would not lead my kinsfolk astray.

I don't anticipate a problem writing the abridged Clan history but what I'm worried about is licensing rights for the images a booklet like this will require to be useful.

I anticipate that I would need images of:

The various clan tartans
The clan crests
The chiefs' coats of arms
pictures of Clan Donald castles
Famous portraits of Clan Donald chiefs like the young boys, Glengarry etc...
Probably the MacIan and MacLeay photos that relate to our Clan.
Graves of MacDonald chiefs at Iona
Finlaggan Island

This booklet may grow into a proper book at some stage, but one step at a time.

I see a lot of these in other books and so I imagine licensing wouldn't be prohibitive, but I'm out of my depth on that aspect. Anyone who can help me acquire rights to images of this nature inexpensively would earn my deepest gratitude.

Slàinte,
