After years of studying clan history and corresponding with Scottish kin, the author's dream of journeying to MacDougall Country became a reality. In Journeying in MacDougall Country, his journal notes and sketches are supplemented with maps, historical notes, and geographical information to form a unique illustrated travel guide for all who wish to explore this country and its people. "This beautifully written book should give tremendous pleasure to many." ~ Coline MacDougall of MacDougall, 30th Chief."A delight in store for many and a 'must read' for MacDougall clansfolk." ~ Morag MacDougall of MacDougall, 31st Chief. |
