"I gave it 3 stars as this book would not appeal to a lot of people. First of all it is not quick reading and secondly, a lot of people are not interested in the origin of names. I am because it is so interesting to learn that names we consider to be very Scots or English or Italian, or what ever , actually have their origins from the countries which invaded them. For instance, in the case of the Scots the country was invaded by the Romans, the Vikings, the French and one clan name has Flemish roots I learned. When the invaders stayed and intermarried, they left definite imprints of their culture which in turn became incorporated into the culture that was invaded."

- I gave it 3 stars as this book would not appeal to a lot of people. First of all it is not quick reading and secondly, a lot of people are not interested in the origin of names. I am because it is so interesting to learn that names we consider to be very Scots or English or Italian, or what ever , actually have their origins from the countries which invaded them. For instance, in the case of the Scots the country was invaded by the Romans, the Vikings, the French and one clan name has Flemish roots I learned. When the invaders stayed and intermarried, they left definite imprints of their culture which in turn became incorporated into the culture that was invaded.
- There were some interesting facts about the major clans; however, I was hoping the book would list out the septs associated with each clan. I was disappointed to find my ancestral clan was not in the book. Nonetheless, it is a good jumping off point for those who are interested in Scottish clans and their historical significance.
- This book has wonderful information regarding the history of many clans in Scotland. It discusses the families and some of their history. If possible, the information provided even leads up to current families and where they live. This is a book I can use for reference when reading about Scotland and its history. It provides great insight into the struggles this country, and its inhabitants, endured in the past.
- Surprised that so many clans were listed. It's a great read and a real study. With 's Books I can read on my tablet, laptop or desktop -- wherever I happen to be working or waiting. Amazed at how much time I have enjoyed while waiting in doctor's offices, etc., that would otherwise have been wasted.
- Interesting reading
- I need a much larger book.
- All clans in one book with good details on each. Very well organize and set up for easy reading and understanding
- So, I found a bit of history about the clan of my wife and my brother in low. Not too much though but that's not the aim of the book. It offers just basic information which for myself at this stage was fair enough.
