Excerpt from A History of the County of Inverness (Mainland), Vol. 1
The object of the writer has been to View the history of Inverness-shire from the standpoint of the general history of Scotland, to bring into prominence the vari ous particulars in which the former has been affected by the latter, and so to trace the story of the county from the earliest time to the present day.
In following out this design, no great stress has been laid upon isolated incidents which have only a local interest. The story of the various districts of the county has been told, and well told, by different writers, to whom reference is made in these pages. Few counties of Scotland have had more done for them than has been done for Inverness in the gathering together of the traditions and historic associations of particular localities. The history of the clans belong ing to the county, their genealogies and feuds, have also been fully narrated, especially in the popular and well-known books of Mr Alexander Mackenzie. These are only referred to in what follows when deemed necessary to illustrate the general trend of things, and the evolution of present social conditions from a some what misty and chaotic past.
