TITLE:
The Lords of the Isles AUTHOR: Ronald Williams PUBLISHER: House of Lochar ISBN 1899863176 |
An
excellent piece of work from Ronald Williams. His thorough narrative study
of the evolution of the Lords of the Isles brings understanding and graphic
detail to Scottish west coast history through the Dalriadic and Viking
periods. The chapter on St Columba and Aeden of Dalriada,
is simply the best that I have read. An essential guide for the Scottish
Dark Age explorer. (Ronnie has apologised for his complete omission of reference to Clan Arthur in this piece, but he is currently researching Ardviragus the Celtic battle leader). |
