Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "History of Clan MacFarlane" provides a complex and thorough look at MacFarlane clan history from inception to modern times. Written by James MacFarlane and published by the Clan MacFarlane Society, this text explores both the ancestry of one specific clan and addresses a broader understanding of the clan system as a whole. Scottish clans are a social group dependent upon lineage and political alliances. Surprisingly, not every MacFarlane is born into the clan, instead, throughout history groups swearing allegiance to the clan were allowed to petition for entrance into the clan and were they accepted, their children automatically became part of the clan as well. While this information may seem irrelevant to some, knowledge of one's clan can give individuals a better sense of who they are and where they come from along with a feeling of shared identity. This publication contends that it is the largest and most comprehensive (although not complete) history of the MacFarlane clan for the purpose of historic and genealogical research. Beginning with a list of the chiefs of the MacFarlane Clan from 1225 through 1866; the book indicates that all leaders of the clan are chosen by birthright and via political machinations. The text then explores, at length, the exciting history of these chiefs including entertaining stories and detailed exploits. In an effort to bring the text to life, the book includes many illustrations of clan tartans, crests, castles, and important places and people; all information pertinent to the MacFarlane clan. "History of Clan MacFarlane" is a wonderful resource for readers interested in Scottish genealogy and history; especially those with family history linked to the clan. This book is an interesting read for anyone interested in history, Scotland, clanship, and genealogical research; and while it contains a considerable amount of information, it is easily digestible by readers with any level of understanding in family history. Truly a stellar addition to any budding genealogist's collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he Kaisers determination to starve Britain into surrender and the development of his Navy and the U-boats in particular meant that Britains merchant navy was in the front line throughout the Great War.This book charts the progress of the war at sea which began with the sinking of the oil tanker San Wilfrido off Cuxhaven only eight hours after the official declaration of war. The merchantman Glitra was the first victim of a German U-boat (U–17) on 20 October 1914 she was to be joined by many, many more. As the war on land intensified so the naval struggle grew ever more bitter. As vividly described there were many incidents of atrocious behavior, amounting to war crimes, by the attackers against their hapless victims; sinking of lifeboats, machine-gunning of survivors, attacks without any warning designed to cause maximum casualties.We learn of instances where the weak gallantly fought back such as the duel between Captain Bissett-Smiths Otaki (with one gun) and the heavily armed German surface raider Mwe. Although he went down with his ship, Captain Smith was posthumously awarded the VC, and remains the only merchant seaman so honored.War under the Red Ensign contains many inspiring and shocking accounts of war at sea and is a gripping read.

Book excerpt: New and Updated Edition Who owns Scotland? How did they get it? What happened to all the common land in Scotland? Has the Scottish Parliament made any difference? Can we get our common good land back? In this book, Andy Wightman updates the statistics of landownership in Scotland and explores how and why landowners got their hands on the millions of acres of land that were once held in common. He tells the untold story of how Scotland's legal establishment and politicians managed to appropriate land through legal fixes. Have attempts to redistribute this power more equitably made any difference, and what are the full implications of the recent debt-fuelled housing bubble, the Smith Commission and the new Scottish Government's proposals on land reform? For all those with an interest in urban and rural land in Scotland, this updated edition of The Poor Had No Lawyers provides a fascinating analysis of one the most important political questions in Scotland.
