Great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: West Highland Tales (Paperback)
This book is a great book if you are at all interested in the mythology of the West Highlands. Fitzroy MacLean retells the stories with wit and style and the illustrations are fantastic.

"Keppoch has landed",
By Ranald (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: West Highland Tales (Paperback)
The book is excellent! What is missing is the true history of my own clan The Honourable Clan Ranald of Lochaber.However, now that I am back after 156 years in limbo, I aim to correct that position fairly soon. Meantime for any of your readers interested they can log on to www.Ranald Alasdair MacDonald of Keppoch and they will get a very pleasent surprise.That is for all of your readers interested in Highland history.
