A family name, a Highland title, and a question of true descent: in this fiery 1821 pamphlet, John Riddell enters the fray over who may rightly claim the honoured style of Clanronald. Genealogy becomes high drama here. Written against attacks in the Inverness Journal and in other contemporary tracts, this is a point-by-point vindication of the Clanronald of Glengary, composed at a time when lineage meant power, land, and identity. Blending legal precision with antiquarian passion, Riddell assembles charters, traditions, and earlier authorities to defend the clanronald of glengary genealogy against rival claims from the family who styled themselves of Clanronald. The result is a classic scottish genealogy pamphlet and an essential historical clan history book, illuminating a wider scottish clan lineage dispute within Clan Donald. For anyone interested in scottish highlands local history, early 19th century Scotland, or clan donald history research, this complete 1821 clan genealogy text offers a revealing window onto Highland society, reputation, and the politics of family. It remains a sharp, detailed reference for genealogists and a rich highland clan researchers guide for historians of law, landholding, and identity. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Equally suited to the curious reader of antiquarian family history and the serious researcher building a Highland library, it stands as a vivid document of Scotland's enduring argument over blood, name, and belonging.
