Title: Rivalry explained
Product review: I really enjoyed this book. Being a newly active member of the Clan Donald, I had always seen references to the Macdonald/Campbell feud but never understood it or the history. Mr. Tomson tells the story from the beginnings with the events that led to the centuries old competition between these two great clans. Now it makes sense to me why people snicker at the Clan Donald and Campbell's tents being next to each other at the highland games or the little battles between them. The history of the Lords of the Isles and Earls of the Campbell family are easy to read and enjoyable. The second half of the book is just various stories of people of the name Campbell and Macdonald who ended up in rivalries or succeeded or failed in different endeavors. A fun easy read, yet very informative. Good book to have on the shelf for members of either clan.
