i don't expect anyone to be able to help with this, but i'm putting it out there in case someone has this book and can tell me it's name.
in 1888, 'history of the mathesons' by mckenzie was published, asserting all mathesons ancestries 'converged in murdoch buidhe matheson, 10 generations from the present day'. it was a genealogy of the clan, which was updated in 1900 by mcbain. i have this book, and it is not the one i am looking for.
in the last 10 years, i acquired a book from the clan matheson society in australia. (i've contacted them, and they can't recall it either, just it was a limited run) it was published within the last decade, and was a revision of the descendants of murdoch buidhe matheson who was alive in the late 16th century. it had a photo of the applecross mountains and the sea or loch on the cover with a cloudy sky. i know the cover well as i drew it for a school project. i just can't remember the name of the book. or the author. i just know he drew up a revision of the generations after murdoch, which did not tally with the history of the mathesons, and i was unimpressed with it. i loaned it to my grandmother who died last year and no one has seen the book.
if anyone recognises the actual book from my shoddy memory, i would be very pleased to know the title, and see if i can get a copy. thank you.
