It also explores the origins and backgrounds of key Scottish clan names, which have formed a part of the country's modern-day heritage. Packed with delightful and informative trivia, and illustrated with line drawings, Scottish Clans: A Very Peculiar History(TM) reveals all you need to know about Scotland and the Scots.
