May Photograph The Clansman Scotland

May photograph of The Clansman, Scone Palace, Perthshire, Scotland. The story of Scotland’s clans was brought to life at Scone Palace with a presentation of The Clansman. The audience was taught about these fierce Scottish fighting men, their weapons, culture and traditions. How the clans originated from powerful families in ancient times and how the clan system was the basic system of social power and organization in all of the ancient peoples who came to, and remained part of, Scotland. In addition, the audience learned how during the Jacobite rising of 1745, the clan fighters recognized each other in battle mainly by the sprig or plant worn in their bonnet or the slogan they shouted in battle, rather than the tartan they wore.
