The book has stood the test of time and is still accepted as an accurate and scholarly account of Scottish life at that period. It has been described as 'the best work that has ever been written on the origin, antiquities, traditions and national peculiarities of the Caledonian Celts.' It is a wide-ranging book, which covers topics such as the origins of the Celts; military training, tactics, weapons and accoutrements; dress ancient and modern, including a table of clan tartans; hunting, agriculture, food and drink; poetry and music; health and medicines; customs, including marriage ceremonies and funeral rites. This is a reprint of the 1876 edition of Logan's famous work, edited with an introduction and a memoir of the author by Alexander Stewart. The text is illustrated throughout with precise and informative line drawings.
