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.
