Verwandte Artikel zu Highlanders: A History of the Highland Clans
Inhaltsangabe
The highlands of Scotland and more especially the clans that inhabit them have a romantic resonance and mystery almost unparallelled elsewhere. Tales of unimaginable savagery acted out against a panorama of the wildest and most beautiful scenery, but also characters of great gentleness, loyalty and culture. On the 250th anniversary of the landing of Bonnie Prince Charlie on the Island of Eriskay with just seven men when he and a number of clans captured Scotland in a series of brilliant battles against other clans and sometimes members of the same family and all but wrested the British crown from his Hanoverian cousins, Fitzroy Maclean recounts the history of the Highland clans, the first major book to give a synoptic view. The book includes an illustrated appendix of clan names, their tartans lands, and principal branches. Malone Gill Productions (producers of Kenneth Clarke's civilisation, Alastair Cook's America, Hugh Johnson's Story of Wine) are producing a 1 1/2 hour TV documentary: 'Highlanders', narrated by Sean Connery and featuring Fitzroy Maclean extensively.
