John Bannerman (1932-2008) saw the history of Scotland from a
Gaelic perspective, and his outstanding scholarship made
thatperspective impossible to ignore. As a historian, his natural
home was the era between the Romans and the twelfth century when
the Scottish kingdom first began to take shape, but he also wrote
extensively on the MacDonald Lordship of the Isles in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, while his work on the Beatons,
the notable Gaelic medical kindred, reached into the early
eighteenth century. Across this long millennium, Bannerman ranged
and wrote with authority and insight on what he termed the
'kin-based society', with special emphasis upon its church and
culture, and its relationship with Ireland. This collection opens
with Bannerman's ground-breaking and hugely influential edition and
discussion of Senchus fer nAlban ('The History of the Men of
Scotland'), which featured in his Studies in the History of
Dalriada (1974), now long out of print. To this have been added all
of his published essays, plus an essay-length study of the Lordship
of the Isles which first featured as an appendix in Late Medieval
Monumental Sculpture in the West Highlands (1977). The book will be
of interest to anyone who wants to know more about the Gaelic
dimension to Scotland's past and present.
