Books, Manuscripts
John Bannerman (1932-2008) saw the history of Scotland from a Gaelic perspective, and his outstanding scholarship made that perspective impossible to ignore. As a historian, his natural home was the era between the Romans and the 12th century, when the Scottish kingdom first began to take shape, but he also wrote extensively on the MacDonald Lordship of the Isles in the 14th and 15th centuries, while his work on the Beatons, the notable Gaelic medical kindred, reached into the early 18th century. Across this long millennium, Bannerman ranged and wrote with authority and insight on what he termed the 'kin-based society', with special emphasis upon its church and culture, and its relationship with Ireland. This collection brings together his most important studies as well as all of his published essays.
