The Celtic Magazine, Vol. 40 by Alexander Mackenzie Pdf
Excerpt from The Celtic Magazine, Vol. 40: A Monthly Periodical; Devoted Tom the Literature, History, Antiquities, Folk Lore Traditions, and the Social and Material Interests of the Celt at Home and Abroad To write the history of one of our leading Highland clans is a more arduous task than most readers of the Celtic Magazine are likely to realise, but the reception accorded to the histories of the Mackenzies, of the Macdonalds, and of the Camerons, written and published by us during the last six years, and the valuable aid extended to us by members of these families, and by those possessing information concerning the clans whose histories have already appeared, have emboldened us to begin a history of the ancient family of Macleod, in the full expectation and confidence that similar aid will be extended to us in our present task. We would, however, call attention to the fact that in a few instances, parties interested have not supplied us, until it was too late, with genealogical and other interesting family information which it was impossible to obtain from other sources, and it may be well to warn those interested in the history and genealogies of the Clan Macleod and its connexions against similar oversight, so that they may not, when the work is completed, have to complain, as some Mackenzies, Macdonalds, and Camerons have done, that their names or families have been overlooked and left out of the genealogical portion of the histories of their respective clans.
