Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In the Highlands, the seannachie, or bard, occupied an honored place in the household of every clan chief. The stories they told, passed down over the centuries, retain their vivid sharpness to this day.

In this book, Fitzroy Maclean assumes the role of storyteller in a collection of favorite stories from his native land, ranging from the thousand-year-old Dierdre of the Sorrows to tales of warriors, treacherous love, ghosts, and spirits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, August 5, 1999
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Keppoch has landed", April 19, 2004
By Ranald (Scotland) - See all my reviews
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.
