Morvern is a roughly triangular-shaped peninsula lying west of Fort William and at the foot of the Great Glen. This work was first published in 1863, but its value today lies in its encapsulation of the past, and its evocation of the scenery of Morvern and its surroundings. It speaks of Morvern, but describes a whole breed of West Highlanders. It clarifies the Highlander's own view of the Clan, a very necessary exercise at a time when notions of what a Clan is, are becoming romantically distanced from the reality.
