History of Clan Nicolson by David Sellar
This work is a history of the varied fortunes of the Clan Nicolson. The study of the Hebridean clan contains details from recently discovered documents. Historical texts, myth, tradition, story and poetry are interwoven in the text. The origins of the clan can be traced back to the early 12th century, and by the 13th it was one of the most important in the Hebrides. Evidence discovered by the authors indicates that the Nicolsons allied with Edward I against Robert the Bruce in the 14th century, and that the fall in their fortunes can be linked to land disputes with the MacLeods and the MacDonalds. The emigration of the Clan Chiefship during the 19th century saw the influence of Nicolsons spread to the New World and beyond.| SKU | Unavailable |
