McLeod Clan Settles Throughout the World

I purchased this book as a gift for my husband who is a member of the McLeod Clan, and he hasn't completely finished reading it yet. The book arrived quickly and was well-packaged. It has a lot of information about the McLeod clan that we didn't know before. The purpose of the book is to trace the McLeods who have left Scotland, why they left, and where they ended up all over the world. The author has actually traveled to interview many of these people in person which makes the book more than just a dry listing of statistics. Would recommend the book to any member of the McLeod clan.
