Download or read book The Clans Tartans of Scotland written by Peter B. Stuart and published by Chartwell Books. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Highlanders written by James MacKillop and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebellion was recurrent in the Highlands because the Gaels (Scoti) were an often-oppressed indigenous minority in the nation, Scotland, to which they gave their name. They spoke a language, Gaelic, few outsiders would learn, and had their own family and social system, the clans. Warfare was bloody, culminating in the catastrophe of Culloden Moor during the doomed quest to restore the Stuart kingship to all of Britain. Economic hardship, including the near-genocidal Clearances, in which tenant farmers were replaced with sheep, drove the Gaels from the glens and islands, so that most today live in the diaspora, including millions in North America. Although the Gaels lack a single genetic identity, they clearly draw from distinct roots in the Irish, Norse and Picts. Despite their hardship, the Gaels are also presented in romantic portrayals by the artistic elite of other nations. This book offers ways in which the reader might find roots and ancestry in unfamiliar terrain. Chapters discuss the landscape and language of the Highlanders, the rise of clans, feuds and invasions, and eventual emigration.
Download or read book Clans and Tartans of Scotland written by Roddy Martine and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world there exists an enduring fascination with our ancestry – who we are and where we come from. Nowhere is this more evident than with the generations of Scots who over the centuries have left their native Scotland to create a new life in the New World – North America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. The Scots are a remarkable race with a justifiably proud history and culture which they have successfully passed on through generations. This compact book sets out to identify the larger Scottish clan and family names, their tartans, septs (dependent family names), heraldic crests, mottos, ancestral lands and allegiances. This book features full colour photographs of each tartan as opposed to digital reproductions, allowing readers to see both the textures and patterns.
Download or read book What Is My Clan written by David W. McIntosh and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started writing this book in an effort to be as accurate as possible regarding the clans, their septs, and spelling variations. As a convener for my clan, it has been frustrating to rely on books written to sell tartan or to be all inclusive. This book has been written to identify the septs and spelling variations for Scottish clans. It is not intended to be a guide for tartans. I have written this book after talking to as many Chiefs in Scotland as I could reach. If the chiefs were unavailable, I relied on the Scotland-based websites for the clans. For clans without a Scotland-based site, I relied on other UK websites. As a last resort, I contacted US based Societies or their leadership. Some names have been removed from the various lists in the effort to be accurate. There are many clan/house groups, both Highland and Lowland, that have a differing list of names between the Scotland Chiefs or Societies and the US Societies. In some cases, US Clans or Houses may not be happy with the lists of their septs and spelling variations. Many US Societies have added more names to bolster membership and to be all inclusive. This book does not include the cadet clans and their septs as part of the parent clan. Cadet clans were those that were started by a second son. In the case of these clans, they are listed as their own entity, septs and spellings. It should be noted that many Highland Clans were known to have both spelling variations and septs. Lowland Houses, on the other hand, only had spelling variations-despite what may be argued. Also, for a clan that has a Gaelic name and an English name, both were shown with their spellings. Clan (House) Hay is a notable exception, where they are a clan of five joined houses that have several septs. Most Lowland family groups were known as Houses, as well as Highland groups not of Gaelic descent. More recently, some have started to refer to themselves as Clans. There is also conjecture as to if there were ever really any septs for clans at all. Some historians believe that septs were a byproduct of the Victorian Age. However, some family names have been associated with a clan well before that Age. It is my hope that this book will help other conveners be as accurate as they can be in their duties to their clans.
