Synopsis

Excerpt from Historical Memoirs of the House and Clan of Mackintosh: And of the Clan Chattan

The germ from which this book has grown was a genealogy of my own family, written in a large Bible which had belonged to a great-grandaunt (see note on p. 111), and showing the steps of our descent from the early chiefs of Mackintosh through Shaw Mor, whose successful leading of the Clan Chattan champions at Perth in 1396 it duly recorded. This genealogy I copied more than twenty years ago, while still in my adolescence. Here and there I gleaned further particulars of the clan's history from such published books as fell in my way, and carefully made notes, for use as opportunity should offer, of other books and records which I judged would afford additional information. After taking up my abode in London fifteen years ago, I spent much of my spare time in the Reading Room of the British Museum, and my "Collections" increased rapidly.
