Summary: A lovely gift for those interested in Scotland
Review: A wee bit more of a coffee table book than a really history book, it gives those interested in Scotland an arm chair view of Scotland from its Origins to Culloden. The history is very good, more than a Wee Guide to...and is loaded with 100s of gorgeous colour photos of every aspects of the wonderful and beauty of Scotland, from its stone circles to jewellery, portraits and naturally, the castles. After the Epilogue, it has a quickie Clan and Tartan section, so the book is everything for the person wishes to learn a little more than 'Braveheart' about Scotland. Likely one of the best in this range of lots of photos and a good start on its history.

Summary: An exhaustive study of the clan system of Scotland.
Review: This book, in itself, is a study in the origin of the clan system in Scotland and a general history of how the Highlanders came to be in the land of Scotland as it is known today. Highlanders: A History of Scottish Clans is a book anyone interested in the Clans of Scotland would find quite informative. Seasoned historians alike could learn much from Fitzroy McLeans' book about the Highlanders. His approach is fresh, his timing is superb, his views keenly discriminating. To the origins of the Scottish Highlanders his facts are unequalled. A must for any historian or genealogist studing the names of Scotland
