Here is recounted the stirring history of the Clan MacPherson from its beginning in the mists of medieval Caledonian history down to the present time. The clan's turbulent exploits spanned the bloodthirsty, feuding saga of Scotland's history and the dramatic tales here retold recall dashing Highland charges, brutal battles, breathless chases and deadly duels. Among the colourful characters in their ranks were Cluny Macpherson, an infamous Jacobite who stayed on the run for nine years, and James Macpherson, who hoaxed the literary world with his bogus Ossian epics. Here is the clan's exciting history in all its enthralling detail.
