Scottish Highlanders - A People and Their Place

Examining their roots, their contributions to Scotland's evolution , their dispersal across the globe and the myths surrounding them, the author, James Hunter, sets out to explore and explain the passions and emotions surrounding the Scottish Highlanders. He begins with their origins two thousand years ago in Ireland and deals with the monks that brought Christianity from the Hebrides to much of Britain, with the impact of the Viking warriors, and the Lordship of the Isles and its Gaelic Kingdom during the Middle Ages. The story ends with how the Gaels and the Highlanders came to be marginalised in the country they had made, discussing the many rebellions and the final defeat at Culloden.

 A very good copy with a clan unblemished and unclipped dustcover with bright and clean pages throughout.
