This work follows the history of Celtic Scotland from the ancient kingdoms of the Picts and Scots to the downfall of Clan Donald at the end of the 15th century. The roles played by Somerled and his descendants, the Canmore kings, Edward I as the "Hammer of the Scots", and Robert the Bruce are recounted, along with the impact of the Wars of Scottish Independence, and their aftermath in the north. It was only in the Western Highlands of Scotland that Celtic society survived in quasi-independence as the Lordship of the Isles, until its final forfeiture in 1493.
