This book provides us with an accurate historical view of the
Sinclair family alongside Scottish history It explores the journey
of the Sinclairs from their Normandy routes to Scotland. Sinclair
is one of the oldest surnames in Europe and its ancestry goes back
to William the Conqueror. The book identifies the origin and
formation of the Sinclair Clan, shows the crest and tartans and
their Earldoms and Castles. From these it guides us to places of
interest today. The Sinclairs were well respected and throughout
the centuries, won or were awarded property and lands. They were
greatly involved in the battles of the Wars of Independence and are
first mentioned in the invasion of England with William the
Conqueror. This book goes on to describe in detail, all the battles
looking at the first Battle of Dunbar in 1296 effectively ending in
an English victory to the first battle for Independence, the Battle
of Roslin. It goes on encountering the Sinclairs in the likes of
the Battles of Bannochburn and Culloden to the ill fated Invasion
of England in 1648 with King Charles II. It then takes us on,
ending the journey at the Union of Parliaments of Scotland and
England in 1707.
