Lords of the Isles, The

From the establishment of the Kingdom of Dalriada in Argyll by Fergus Mor in AD 500, through to the forfeiture of the lordship at the end of the fifteenth century - St. Columba’s settlement in Iona, the depredations of the Vikings, the Battle of Clontarf, the emergence of Somerled, the story of the Bruce - this is Scotland’s history, told in coherent, narrative style. The pace is thrilling, but the detail remains absorbing and will fascinate every reader.
