Clans, Septs, and Regiments CD-ROM
Clans, Septs, and Regiments CD-ROM
By Frank Adam, F.S.A. Scot. Originally published in 1907.
546 pages + illustrations.
Possibly the most famous book on Scotland published in the 20th century! Clans, Septs & Regiments of the Scottish Highlands is a classic reference work for all who have an interest in Scotland.
When it first appeared in print, it was the first real attempt to present a complete study of the Highlands. It includes large sections on the Highland clan system, the clans themselves, Highland surnames, Highland garb, tartan, Highland music, the Celtic languages in Britain, the destruction of the clan system, Highland regiments, Lowland regiments, the Highland clans after Culloden, and armorial bearings of the great Highland families.
There are also illustrations of the various stages and sorts of Highland dress, maps showing Scotland's development through the centuries, and color illustrations of 114 tartans.
Still as useful as a detailed reference as it was a century ago, Clans, Septs, and Regiments should be on every good Scots-American's shelf!
