5.0 out of 5 stars A much needed, fresh look on the history of the Isles, 3 Jul 2003
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The period of Scotland's History 1000-1400 is my favourite, but though a lot has been written about Wallace, Bruce and the struggles of Scotland to remain free from England, not a lot of attention has been paid to the seaboard of Scotland - the Hebrides, Agryll and the Isle of Man. During this central Middle Ages, the struggle for control of the area was complex, but little focus has been done in trying to sort out the problems of the area or how they played a roll in Scottish History.

Sometimes it takes an outlander to eye the period with a less prejudiced eye. And McDonald, an instructor at the School of Continuing Studies at the University of Toronto and has taught at several Canadian Universities, turns that eye to the area where no study has been published for the last 50 years. The end result, is a truly rounded view of the history of the Isles from 1100-1340s. McDonald's style is very readable, presenting the Rising of the mighty Somerled, to his descendant, John MacDonald, the first Lord of the Isles. He shows the changing political mix of the MacDougalls, MacDonalds and MacRuairis, how their internal Clan struggles affected or were affected by Scotland's struggle for freedom, how Norway was a big player the affairs. He also addresses the Churches, the Castles that are a constant reminder of these people.

A wonderful book for people wishing to know about the Medieval Period of Scotland's Isles.
