This short sketch of the History and Traditions of the Clan MacLeod, for which we are indebted to the Rev, R. C. MacLeod of MacLeod, is the initial effort of the Society to give effect to one of the most important objects of its constitution, viz.:—"The collection and preservation of Records and Traditions," and "the publication of such Literature as may promote the interests of the Clan." The Rev. R. C. MacLeod probably knows more about the Clan history than any other man living. He has spent many years in a study of the subject and of the old manuscripts in which Dunvegan Castle is so rich.
