BOOK - The Great Feud, The Campbells and The MacDonalds.
By: Oliver Thomson.

Here is a vivid account of the remarkable rivalry, sometimes bloody conflict, between two great families which originated on the west coast of Scotland.

Starting with the violent death of the Campbell chief in 1297 the feud then went on for 450 years in Scotland and Northern Ireland, with numerous cullings and clashes inflicted by both sides, among which the incident in Glencoe just happens to be the best publicised. Yet both families continued to grow, to emigrate and to produce a large number of talented, energetic descendants including two British prime ministers (Campbell Bannerman and Ramsay MacDonald) and the first Canadian prime minister.

The second half of the book charts the period after 1745 when large numbers of both clans spread rapidly around the world: transported as criminals, evicted in clearances, or simply seeking their fortune in peace or war.

Readers follow the families in the American and Napoleonic wars, to India, the West Indies and Australasia. We meet politicians, poets, terrorists, sportsmen and women, entrepreneurs and world speed record holders.
