Lang Syne Scottish Clan Crest Tartan Information History Fact Book - Gillespie

The Origins of the Gillespies and Their Place in History. Kinsfolk of Clan Macpherson and through them also part of the Clan Chattan confederation of clans, the Gillespies have played significant roles in some of the pivotal events in Scotland’s history. Bearers of a name with ecclesiastical roots, some were embroiled in the seventeenth century wars between Crown and Covenant, while in more settled times many have gained acclaim through more peaceful endeavours. Shot through with high drama, the stirring tale of the Gillespies is recounted here. Book Dimensions 10 × 0.4 × 14.5 cm
