Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book gives an authoritative account of the history and culture of the Scottish highlands from the mid-15th century through to around 1745 when its ancient system of clanship and feudal aristocracy was broken up by the British government. The author traces the region's turbulent past, examines the character and customs of the people, analyzes the causes of the Jacobite uprisings, and describes the harsh measures that were taken in their aftermath. While primarily a history, the book is also packed with intriguing stories, fascinating traditions, and vivid accounts of the rogues, renegades, and heroes that the region produced. The book provides unique insights into this beautiful, romantic but ultimately tragic chapter of Scottish history, which will be of interest to anyone with an interest in Scotland or Highland history.
