This 200 page book written by the 19th Chief of Clan
MacThomas was launched at the International Gathering of the
Clans in Edinburgh at the end of July 2009.
It shows how our
ancient Gaelic speaking Celtic ancestors came to settle in
Ireland before some crossed the sea to establish the Kingdom
of Dalriada in Scotland. It covers the historical links with
both Clan Chattan and Clan Mackintosh, describes how the Clan
came to flourish in Glenshee, explains how political change
led to its breakup in the 17th century and documents what has
happened since that time right up to the present day. The book
sets out in detail how the various MacThomas “sept” names came
into being; it includes the pipe tunes, dances and poems
associated with the Clan or Glenshee and contains everything
you need to know about the Clan’s heraldry, tartans and
Society.
