Scottish Exodus by James Hunter
It is also based on the author's travels in the company of today's MacLeods - some of them still in Scotland, others further afield. But it is also the moving story of how people separated from Scotland by hundreds of years and thousands of miles continue to identify with the small country where their journeyings began.
"Extraordinary. . no book has gone to these lengths to unpick so many human elements of the diaspora" * The Herald *
"Whatever your surname or origins, Scottish Exodus is a compelling, thoughtful, witty and beautifully written book. It is Hunter's best for at least a decade" * The Scotsman *
"Endlessly fascinating . . . Hunter is at his best when describing the powerful forces in Scotland - hard-times, poor land, high rents, rapacious landlords, two-faced clan chiefs, the prospect of better lives" * Sunday Herald *
