This account of the clan among the Celtic peoples of Europe describes the origins of the clan system and how it was brought to Scotland. It goes on to discuss the tense relationship between a remote government and a society resistant to change that led to the brutal destruction of a whole social structure. This extraordinary story is told as a whole and through the history of its largest clan groupings -- Gordons, Macgregors, Mackenzies, Stewarts, Macdonalds, and Campbells.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Gimble's 1980 volume offers a history of the origins of the Celtic clans throughout Europe. Though generally identified with Scotland, the word clan actually is Gaelic for children. The text is buttressed with monochrome photos and illustrations. A good title for academic collections or public libraries serving large Scottish/Irish populations.
