Murder Under Trust is the first biography of Sir Lachlan Mor Maclean of Duart, the 'Great Maclean', a larger-than-life figure who dominated the western seaboard of Highland Scotland from 1578 until his death in 1598.Lachlan Mor's story is based mainly on the reports of spies working for Queen Elizabeth I of England and Philip II of Spain. The author also draws on Sir Lachlan's original letters in both Scots and Gaelic to make him a complex three-dimensional figure and not the cardboard cut-out so many of his contemporaries appear to be through lack of evidence.Murder Under Trust is essential reading for all those interested in the history of the Highlands and Islands and Ulster.

History

Tuckwell Press, Ltd.

An account of the Clan Maclean that traces its history from its first arrival on the western seabord to subsequent landing on Mull. The text follows the Clan's rapid expansion under the patronage of the Lords of the Isles to Coll and Tiree, Ardgour, Lochaber, the Outer and Small Isles, Islay, Jura and up the Great Glen. It follows the Clan's subsequent history after the forfeiture of its patron and sees the Clan against the background of Anglo-Scottish politics, seapower and the church. This work is the first of three studies of the Clan which describes the story of the Macleans through their involvement in the power politics of Scotland and Ireland in the late 16th century, their role in the Civil War and the Jacobite uprisings and their ultimate dispersal in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
