105 How did Highland Clans Decide Succession?
Manage episode 306922867 series 2847317
In many descriptions of the Highland Clans, Tanistry is often given as the method used to decide succession among chiefs. I have already done an episode describing this system. In this episode, I relate my findings from a historical survey I did with seven Highland/Hebridean clans to see whether this system was employed or whether primogeniture was more common. I traced the chiefly line of seven clans: Mackintosh, Mackay, MacLean, Cameron, Robertson of Struan, MacLeod and MacFarlane. Join me to see what I found.
