About the Book

Did your clan or family own a castle?

Virtually all Scottish monarchs, nobles, lairds and landowners. Highland or Lowland, lived in castles, palaces or tower houses; it has been estimated that there were more than 3,000 of these fortified buildings in Scotland during the medieval and early morning period.

By far the most comprehensive and detailed work available, Castles of the Clans features more than 750 clans and families (with hundreds more alternate spellings and variations) along with the thousands of castles, properties and lands that they held.

More than 600 drawings and photos enhance the text.
