{"product_id":"the-highland-clans-9780500290842","title":"The Highland Clans","description":"The story of the Highland clans of Scotland is famous, the names celebrated, and the deeds heroic. Having clung to ancient traditions of family, loyalty, and valor for centuries, the clans met the beginning of their end at the fateful Battle of Culloden in 1746.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Alistair Moffat traces the history of the clans from their Celtic origins to the coming of the Romans; from Somerled the Viking to Robert the Bruce; from the great battles of Bannockburn and Flodden to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite Risings; and from the Clearances to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e Moffat is an adept guide to the world of the clans, a world dominated by lineage, land, and community. These are stories of great leaders and famous battles, and of an extraordinary people, shaped by the unique traditions and landscape of the Scottish Highlands. It's a story too about the pain of leaving, with the great emigrations to the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand that began after Culloden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Complete with a clan map and an alphabetical list of the clans of the Scottish Highlands, this is a must for anyone interested in the history of Scotland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alistair Moffat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500290842","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46939961000073,"sku":"9780500290842","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bfc2a3cf-74fd-4fe0-ad6a-d0e19dba5fd6.jpg?v=1781662370","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-highland-clans-9780500290842","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
