The first book of a multi-volume history of the Clan MacKinnon. The Small Regiment, volume 1, The Origins of the Clan MacKinnon, is a new well researched history of the MacKinnon Clan to the year 1621. The book is a well illustrated 398 page volume with: 25 maps, 27 photographs, 8 family charts and several drawings. There are informative end notes at the end of each chapter giving the references used and providing explanatory information that enhances the main text of each chapter. The 58 page appendix is composed of copies of original documents, contemporary stories and poetry that give a sense of the politics and culture during the periods described.

History, to be understood, must be more than a collection of disconnected poorly explained anecdotes. A credible history of a Hebredian clan must explain the relationships between the island clans, their alliances and something of their culture. A good history must also discuss the pressure on the clans that was exerted by the kings of Scotland as they sought to incorporate the Hebrides into the Kingdom of Scotland.

The Small Regiment, volume 1, Origins of the Clan MacKinnon, is suitable for everyone with an interest in the Clan MacKinnon or Hebridean history. This is not simply another history of Scotland with a Lowland or English bias. Every effort was made to maintain a MacKinnon focus and an Hebridean prospective. There is enough information regarding sources that interested readers may easily continue this fascinating research. It is the authors hope that others will use this book as a solid place from which to further advance and expand knowledge of our history and culture.
