The Highland Clans

Sir Iain Moncreiffe describes in this book the great and rightful pride which people of the Scots and especially Highland descent feel about their origins, wherever they are now living. This book traces the dynastic origins of the various clans and charts much of their lesser known history, depicting their heraldic badges and war-cries and naming their lucky plants: the emblems and symbols of their individuality. But above all, it illustrates with sixteen pages of colour photographs and many more in black and white, including line drawings, the homelands of the clans, together with many of their historic relics and recent portraits of their chiefs.
