Book excerpt: A local historian chronicles the famously remote region of the Scottish Highlands from its early Viking settlers to the present day. Located in the “Rough Bounds” of northern Scotland, the remote region of Knoydart is Britain’s last true wilderness. Deriving its name from Viking settlers, the desolate peninsula was home to warlike inhabitants who became notorious in the 18th century under the ruthless leadership of Coll of Barrisdale. Notorious across Scotland, his protection racket gave the word “blackmail” to the English language. Knoydart was also a fertile recruiting ground for the Jacobites. But in the 18th and 19th centuries the area suffered large scale emigration, partly as a result of the brutal clearances of 1853. A long century of decline followed until, in 1948, it became the scene of the famous land-raid by the “Seven men of Knoydart.” Today, Knoydart continues to be the focus of land settlement and reform controversies. Local historian Denis Rixson places these issues in their larger historical context. It is the story of a community’s ongoing struggle to preserve itself against the harshness of the environment and the cynical exploitation of man.

Download or read book Clan Donald written by Donald J. Macdonald and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-18 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a detailed history of this Scottish noble lineage from the medieval Lords of the Isles to the mid–eighteenth century. Clan Donald is not the history of one clan, but of several important clans that descend from the old Kingdom of Macdonald. Each of these clans played its part in the history of Scotland until the fateful Battle of Culloden in 1746. Covering a period of six hundred years, the narrative begins with Somerled and the foundation of the Lordship of the Isles. It traces the narrative through the downfall of the Lordship in 1493 and the various branches that arose thereafter. The book then culminates in an overview of how the Celtic and Roman Churches were influenced by Clan Donald. Based on the original, three-volume edition of Clan Donald—first published between 1896 and 1904—this all-encompassing reference book is essential for members of the Clan as well as students of the Western Highlands and Isles.
