In Clans and Tartans of Scotland you'll take a look at some of the oldest and most historic families of Scotland. Tracing back to the 19th century, the stories of Scottish clans and their heritage is expounded upon this this great volume. A Scottish clan is a kinship group among the Scottish people. Clans give a sense of shared identity and descent to members, and in modern times have an official structure recognized by the court in Scotland, which regulates Scottish heraldry and coats of arms. Most clans have their own tartan patterns, usually dating from the 19th century, which members may incorporate into kilts or other clothing. The clans are irrevocably linked to Scotland's rich and turbulent past and have left a lovely legacy of castles and stately homes, many of which are the seats of the clans today. It is a common misconception that every person who bears a clan's name has a direct bloodline to the original clan chief. This is not so. Many clansmen although not related to the chief took the chief's surname as their own to either show solidarity, to obtain basic protection, or for much needed sustenance. The Clans & Tartans of Scotland explores the fascinating heritage of over one hundred of Scotland's most famous clans and biggest families together with their illustrious and historic tartans.

“A brisk and accessible guide to a thousand years of reiving and rivalry in the Highlands.” —The Scotsman The story of the Highland clans of Scotland is famous, the names celebrated, and the deeds heroic. Having clung to ancient traditions of family, loyalty, and valor for centuries, the clans met the beginning of their end at the fateful Battle of Culloden in 1746. Alistair Moffat traces the history of the clans from their Celtic origins to the coming of the Romans; from Somerled the Viking to Robert the Bruce; from the great battles of Bannockburn and Flodden to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite Risings; and from the Clearances to the present day. Moffat is an adept guide to the world of the clans, a world dominated by lineage, land, and community. These are stories of great leaders and famous battles, and of an extraordinary people, shaped by the unique traditions and landscape of the Scottish Highlands. It’s a story too about the pain of leaving, with the great emigrations to the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand that began after Culloden. Complete with a clan map and an alphabetical list of the clans of the Scottish Highlands, this is a must for anyone interested in the history of Scotland.
