Excerpt from The Great Historic Families of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 F orfar was created for a youthful scion of the Douglas family, whose life, if it had been prolonged, might have saved the dukedom from extinction. He fell fighting under the royal banner at Sheriff muir, having received no fewer than sixteen broadsword wounds besides a pistol shot in his knee. The earldom of Stirling, conferred in 163 3 on Sir William Alexander, an eminent statesman and poet, became dormant on the death without issue of Henry, fifth earl, in 1739, and none of the claims which have been preferred to the title have as yet been made good. Among the dormant but not extinct peerages is the barony of Somerville, the title of an ancient and at one time powerful Border family, which has not been claimed since I 870. The barony of Cranstoun, also celebrated in ballads, tradition, and story since the fifteenth century, became dormant on the death of the eleventh Lord Cranstoun in 1869. Heirs of both dignities are, however, believed to be in existence. The last representative of the Bauld Rutherfords, ' Earls of Teviot and Barons Rutherford who bore a conspicuous part in Border forays, was the prototype of the Master of Ravenswood in Sir Walter Scott's tragic tale of the Bride of Lammermoor.' He died on the Continent without issue in 1724. The earldom of Newark, which was conferred on the celebrated Covenanting General David Leslie, who contributed to the victory of the Parliamentary army at Marston Moor, and defeated the great Marquis of Montrose at Philiphaugh, became extinct on the death of his son, the second lord, in 1694.

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.
