More about this course
- The Highland, Gaelic speaking clans are a vital part of Scotland's history. They also shape how the world imagines Scotland today.
- This course uses the expertise of University of Glasgow academics to explain the structure, economy and culture of the clans. It covers the centuries between the fall of the MacDonald Lords of the Isles in 1493 until around 1800, when the clans dissolved away as a result of social economic change. It then discusses how the legacies of clanship shaped global images of Scotland up until the present.
