Helpful in understanding my ancestry

Enjoyable read. I found information on clans I didn’t know existed., and I It helped in doing my ancestral research.

This is an older history, originally published in the nineteenth century, and hence, I did struggle with the language at times. Still, I was impressed by the author's citations (sometimes earlier and even contemporary historians don't do the best job of sharing where they're getting their information) and I can see why this book has been reprinted. It definitely captured my imagination about what was happening in the Scottish Highlands in the 16th century and made me want to read more on the subject.

Interesting introduction to a country I'm about to visit.
