The Isle of Skye, off the northwestern coast of Scotland, is the
largest of the Inner Hebrides. "Be the many marvelous tales
regarding Skye's heroes and heroines of prehistoric times true or
not, a spirit of warlike enterprise has existed in the island from
the earliest period of which we have any authentic record, and has
been fostered by passing events (involving the strife of arms)
century after century up to the present day. But it is with the
share that 'the Brave Sons of Skye' took in Britain's great wars in
foreign lands that this work more particularly deals." Biographical
sketches, of varying length and primarily focused on military
careers, are grouped by surname and place of residence. Surnames
include: Beaton or Bethune, Campbell, Elder, MacAlister (tracing
"their origin to Alasdair, or Alexander, a son of Angus Mor of the
Clan Donald"), MacDonald, MacInnes, MacIvor, MacKinnon, MacLean,
MacLeod, MacQueen, Martins, and Nicholson. Dr. John Grant, Sgt.
John MacBeth, Col. Sir John MacRa, Dr. Alexander Morrison, Pvt.
Hugh Robertson, the Battle of Mahidpore, the Battle of Moodkee, and
the Battle of Inkerman are covered. Numerous portraits, a list of
original subscribers, brief excerpts from letters and other
documents, and a full-name index augment this work.
