Although the "St Clairs of the Isles" does refer to the various families
into which
the Sinclairs married, it is essentially a book about St Clairs which, if
read by
others less fortunate, would make them feel even more inferior.
I do not think that it would sit easily on a Campbell bookshelf, for
example, and,
if one reads about the antics of various Earls of Caithness, we will see
that we
have had our share of disputatious ancestors who, when the fighting was over,
resorted to litigious feuds with their own kin - usually over land.
