This review is from: Clans and Families of Ireland and Scotland: An Ethnography of the Gael, A.D. 500-1750 (Paperback)
What pleasure from this book! I live in USA and meet lots of people with Scottish or Irish backgrounds. They are just thrilled to read about their heritage. Personally, I have always wondered about my own surname - now the mystery has been solved. You know, it's a real gift to discover your roots!

For anyone with Irish or Scottish ancestry, and interested in the depth of clan and family relationships, I highly recommend this small volume. Brief, succinct, and to-the-point, it steers clear of some of the mythological baggage that often shows up in this arena.

This book is an excellent insight into the ancient Scottish, Irish and Gaelic culture, and truly fascinating for anyone of Scottish or Irish descent who wants an introduction to their ancestoral past.
