The casual reader assumes that the Highlanders were awarrior class. The assumption is entirely wrong, as is noticedby those who have studied this people.

Whilst there were clan feuds, andclan battles, these were not continuous, and the conflictsrecorded are covered by years. They were bold and courageous,and the MacLeans rose to the distinction of being the bestswordsmen in Scotland. Yet, this is a product of a free freeman will brave more than one that is driven or coerced. The nature of the Gael was intense, and whenever dutycalled him, the same element governed his every movement. (13) 14 Renaissance of the Clan ?J
