Unlock Rare 1886 Highland Clan Charters, Alexander Mackenzie's Complete 12-Part History of the Macleods & the 1716 Lochiel Forfeited Estate Rent Roll

Originally published in Inverness in 1886 and conducted by the celebrated Highland genealogist and historian Alexander Mackenzie, F.S.A. Scot., The Celtic Magazine: Volume XI (covering Monthly Numbers CXXI to CXXXII, November 1885 – October 1886) is one of the most important primary-source compendiums of Scottish Highland, Hebridean, and West Coast family history ever printed. This volume preserves the complete twelve-part original serialization of Alexander Mackenzie's landmark History of the Macleods alongside nine installments of The Conflicts of the Clans and Charles Fraser-Mackintosh's verbatim transcription of the 1716 Rent Roll of Glen Luie and Loch Arkaig, naming individual Cameron, Macphee, Macphail, Mackay, MacInnes, MacGilleChallum, and MacKiermod tacksmen and tenants across Lochaber immediately after the 1715 Jacobite Rising.

Historical & Regional Overview

Spanning the Inner and Outer Hebrides (Skye, Harris, Lewis, Raasay, North and South Uist, Barra, St. Kilda, Mull, Iona, Tiree, Coll, and Islay) as well as the Highland mainland counties of Inverness-shire, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, Caithness, Argyllshire, and Perthshire, Volume XI captures Highland society from the Norse-Gaelic Lordship of the Isles through the seventeenth-century clan feuds, the Jacobite forfeitures of 1715 and 1746, and the nineteenth-century Skye crofter agitations. Researchers tracing ancestral lines in Duirinish, Trotternish, Waternish, Minginish, Bracadale, Sleat, Strath, Kintail, Lochalsh, Lochbroom, Assynt, Glenelg, Lochaber, Rannoch, and the Burgh of Inverness will find verbatim charter evidence, kirk disputes, and family pedigrees drawn directly from private charter chests.

In addition to its major clan histories, Volume XI features Provost H. C. Macandrew and Rev. Æneas Chisholm on The Celtic Church in Scotland, Hector Rose Mackenzie's Yachting and Electioneering in the Hebrides, John Macdonald's five-part historical series on Smuggling in the Highlands, Lachlan Macdonald of Skeabost on The Past and Present Position of the Skye Crofters, accounts of The Camerons of Rannoch, St. Kilda, The Poems of William Ross, Colonel George Sinclair's tragic 1612 expedition to Norway, and monthly 1886 Gaelic Almanacks.
