The Macdonalds of Clanranald is a historical book written by Alexander Mackenzie and first published in 1881. The book tells the story of the Macdonald family, one of the most prominent and powerful clans in Scotland, specifically focusing on the Clanranald branch. The book covers the history of the Macdonalds from their earliest origins, through their rise to power and influence in the Scottish Highlands, and their eventual decline and fall. It explores the family's relationships with other clans, their involvement in the Jacobite uprisings, and their struggles to maintain their position in the face of changing political and social circumstances. Mackenzie's writing is detailed and informative, drawing on a wide range of historical sources to provide a comprehensive account of the Macdonalds and their role in Scottish history.
