Description

Thanks to Christopher Menzies in our Scottish Clans Podcast Facebook group, who came up with a great question about how clan society interacted with the political structure of Scotland.  I demonstrate here how the political system didn't just coexist with the clans, it relied on them.  I include several examples at the levels of Earl and Lord to paint the picture.
