Customer Reviews

Excellent reference

A wonderful little reference book I recommend for anyone running a Clan membership tent at Highland/Celtic Games. The book also includes a nice, colorful map of the Clans of Scotland.

Genealogy Gem

The Collins Guide to Scots Kith & Kin is packed with all the information you need to find out if you are descended from one of the Scottish clans, or a sept of a Scottish clan. It is cross-indexed so you can look up surnames easily and find out when and where the surname lived in Scotland. A large, color fold-out clan map shows where the various clans lived. The clan location on the map is also included in the surname index. Because of its accuracy and ease of use, even the best kiltmakers have it on hand as their basic reference for tartan selections. There is no better value for your money than this little guide.
