5.0 out of 5 stars This is regarded as the standard work on scots family names., 13 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Anyone in search of scottish family history will eventually be asked "Have you consulted Black's Surnames?". George Black presents the derivation, spelling variations (and these can be many), geographical origins and earliest known records for most if not all of the surnames of Scotland in an objective manner. This is not one of the "Have I got a tartan for you!" books, nor is it one of the books claiming sept or clan status for the most unlikely names. Instead, it presents the family historian with an academic but readable background of the highland clans and lowland families which all contribute to Scotland's story. Fascinating.
