Have thoroughly enjoyed reading such a well written,
well researched historic account of the story of the
origin of the race of the Gael and thus the Scot. I
remain deeply moved by the depth of sincerity of
belief of the author in his work. That he is a Gael
with a difference. There can be no mistake!
To tackle such a project without some uncanny insight
into the real origin of the Gael, defies explanation
by normal standards. And to compress such detailed
History into 204 pages staggers belief.
As one who has naturally researched my Gaelic roots
over a period of some 45 years, and my Native Gaelic
speaking fathers before me, I recognize most if not
all of the facts quoted within the explicit text. With
few exceptions, I give his work first class merit in
clearly present phraseology and clarity of meaning. With
certain reservations, I personally recommend it as a
foundation for all those serious students of the Gael
seeking a special and vary rare insight into the truth
of our past, our ancestors, and the Royal Blood Line
of the Gael.
Such a book is long overdue. I predict that it will
effectively counter most of the Gaelic/Celtic
antagonism that has passed for Scottish history ever
since the Norman Invasion in c1066.
I warmly welcome it on our Library Shelves!
