Here is recounted the stirring history of the MacDonalds, one-time Lords of the Isles. Read of the bloody feuds with rivals and their bitter struggle to retain autonomy from the encroachments of the Crown and central government. Thrill to the spectacular exploits of the clan under the Maquis of Montrose during his guerilla campaigns in the Highlands. Here is told the terrible saga of the Massacre of Glencoe, when the clan was brutally destroyed by their mercenary guests. And, of course, the most famous clan member of all is recalled - Flora MacDonald, who helped Bonnie Prince Charlie escape from the Redcoats. This little book contains, where available, the clan motto, crest and tartan, in addition to the history of the name.
