FROM ORIGINS TO FLODDEN

The Clan Campbell has long been among the largest of the Scottish highland clans as well as arguably the most powerful. Its history, apart from its intrinsic interest, is inseparable from the history of Scotland. This is the first of three volumes that will tell the full history of the clan in a depth never before attempted.

FROM FLODDEN TO THE RESTORATION

Volume 1 of this history ended with the chief and his followers dead on Flodden field. Volume 2 describes the Clan's recovery. Within five years Colin, 3rd Earl, was Vice-Regent and Lieutenant of the kingdom. Within five decades the Clan had extended their possessions to the Western Isles, reinforced their Highland dominance, and become the most powerful family in the nation. How they managed to remain so for a century and a half, despite everything history could throw at them, is the subject of Alastair Campbell's fascinating, vivid and well-paced narrative.

FROM THE RESTORATION TO THE PRESENT DAY

In the third and final volume of Alastair Campbell's acclaimed account of the Campbells the story resumes at a high pace. Successive incidents include the 9th Earl's part in the 1685 Rebellion and his eventual execution; the 10th Earl's raising to a Dukedom; the Massacre of Glencoe; the 2nd Duke's quashing of the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion at Sheriffmuir; the notable part played by the Clan in the 1745 Rebellion and in its aftermath the sorry tale of the Appin Murder.

The History of Clan Campbell begins at the earliest dates for which there is written record relating to Campbell history and concludes in the nineteenth century, after which there is substantial published material on the history of Scotland and the participation of the Campbell Chiefs, the Dukes of Argyll.  After that period, many members of the Clan Campbell were still prominent in Scottish life, but more as individuals than as part of the Clan.

The work is in three volumes:

Vol. I - Spanning the years from the earliest times to 1513 and the death of the second Earl of Argyll at the Battle of Flodden Field.

Vol. II - Covering the period from 1513 to 1685 and the death of the ninth Earl on the block in Edinburgh following Monmouth's rebellion.

By Neil Munro New edition of book first published in 1914

SOLD OUT

The New Road is Neil Munro's mystery set in the time leading up to the Bonnie Prince Charlie rebellion. The leading characters head north from Argyll to Inverness to check on the progress of General Wade's New Road, and to collect intelligence for Lord Islay, brother of the Duke of Argyll, and the leading politician in Scotland. They also seek to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Aeneas (Angus) Macmaster's father, missing for many years. The picture of the highlands, life in the highlands, and the lives of the people at that time, not to mention the political intrigue make for a fascinating read.

By Ronald Black (Raghnall MacilleDhuibh)

In the course of his long poem An Áirce, 'The Ark', the Jacobite poet Alexander MacDonald shows the Campbells being subjected to trial by water for the part they played in defeating Prince Charles Edward Stuart's army in 1745-46. Some will be drowned outright, he says, some just given a good ducking - and some will be honourably treated. He names thirty-nine individuals; Ronald Black puts their lives and deeds under the microscope to see how far they deserved their allotted fate. The result is a well-balanced portrait of the leading men of Argyll in the eighteenth century and a refreshingly new perspective on one of the most colourful episodes in Scottish history: the rising of the '45 as seen through the eyes of Highlanders who helped to crush it.
