Description

The Erracht Feud: A Complex Story of Power and Identity in Sixteenth-Century Scotland. This book examines a turbulent period in Clan Cameron's history, spanning the last years of Donald Dow McConnell's chiefship and the early years of Allan McConnell Dow's leadership. The author reveals that the feud was not as straightforward as it has often been portrayed. As rival factions vied for power, the true identities of those involved became increasingly confused. In this new study, John Thor Ewing leads the reader on a detective journey through historical evidence to uncover the truth behind the Erracht Feud. Along the way, insights are gained into customs and practices among early Highlanders. The story of the Erracht Feud is significant not only for its relevance to Clan Cameron's history but also for how it sheds light on feuds and feuding in Early Modern Scotland.
