Beskrivning
For nearly 60 years the clans of Highland Scotland proved to be an almost constant thorn in the side of a series of British monarchs.Fiercely independent, the clans comprised an agricultural peasantry dominated by a warrior aristocracy. They held most forms of authority in contempt and did not submit to London meekly. Their first loyalty was to the exiled house of Stuart and in a series of rebellions the Highland clans rose against the ruling monarch.This is a detailed examination of the society that produced these fierce fighters and the tactics they used in battle including the feared 'Highland Charge'.
