This volume commemorates, complements, and in several cases revises some of the findings of W. F. Skene’s Celtic Scotland, which was published over a century ago. A group of distinguished Scottish medievalists examines various aspects of the history of Celtic or Gaelic-speaking Scotland from the sub-Roman period to the 16th century. Taken as a whole, the volume spans virtually the entire medieval period, from the Caledonians of late antiquity to the rebellions of Donald Dubh MacDonald, a claimant to the MacDonald Lordship of the Isles, in the early 16th century. Each chapter can stand on its own by addressing a specific problem or issue within the broader framework of Celtic Scotland.
