Book Description
Alexander MacDonald guides us through his family’s mythic past as he recollects the heroic stories of his people: loggers, miners, drinkers, adventurers; men forever in exile, forever linked to their clan. There is the legendary patriarch who left the Scottish Highlands in 1779 and resettled in “the land of trees,” where his descendents became a separate Nova Scotia clan. There is the team of brothers and cousins, expert miners in demand around the world for their dangerous skills. And there is Alexander and his twin sister, who have left Cape Breton and prospered, yet are haunted by the past. Elegiac, hypnotic, by turns joyful and sad, No Great Mischief is a spellbinding story of family, loyalty, exile, and of the blood ties that bind us, generations later, to the land from which our ancestors came.

Rory MacLeod is a bold and powerful Highland Chief with only one allegiance–to his clan.

Blessed with incomparable beauty, Isabel MacDonald is prepared to use every means possible–including seduction–to uncover her husband’s most guarded secrets. Instead Rory awakens Isabel’s deepest desires and her sweetest fantasies. Now Isabel has found the happiness she’s always dreamed of with the very man she must betray, and discovers that passion can be far more dangerous than revenge.

Scottish Exodus
Author: James Hunter
Publisher: Mainstream Publishing Company
ISBN: 9781845961534
Category : Scotland
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
This groundbreaking account of Scotland's diaspora is a fascinating study in character and identity. Over the years, millions of native Scots have left their home country, yet they have been written about only in general terms. Scottish Exodus breaks new ground by taking a set of emigrants by the name of MacLeod and, with the help of their descendants, investigates exactly what happened to them. These MacLeods began as Scots, but became French aristocrats, Polish resistance fighters, Irish priests, Texan ranchers, New Zealand shepherds, Australian gold miners, Aboriginal activists and Nova Scotian farmers. One nineteenth-century MacLeod even swapped his Gaelic for Arabic, and his Christianity for Islam before settling down comfortably in Cairo. Based on unpublished documents, letters and family histories, and on the author's travels in the company of today's MacLeods -- some of them still in Scotland, others in the United States, Australia, Canada, England, Poland, France, New Zealand and South Africa -- Scottish Exodus is a tale of horror and hardship, disastrous voyages and the hazards of pioneering on faraway frontiers. But it is also the moving story of how people separated from Scotland by hundreds of years and thousands of miles continue to identify with the small country where their global journeys began.
