David Sellar (1942–2019) taught in the Edinburgh University Law
School for some 40 years prior to appointment as Lord Lyon King of
Arms in 2008. He maintained a steady stream of significant
publications on the medieval history of the Highlands and Islands,
with a particular interest not only in what could be learned from
clan genealogies of the period, but also in the region’s literary
culture and material remains such as Sueno's Stone. Retiring
as Lyon in 2014, he was awarded Membership of the Royal
Victorian Order, a dynastic order of knighthood awarded at the
monarch’s sole discretion for distinguished personal
service.
Alasdair Maclean left school at fourteen to work in the Clydeside
shipyards. National Service in the Merchant Marine followed and
then service in the British and Indian Armies. He returned to
Scotland to read English at Edinburgh University before returning
home to Sanna in Ardnamurchan. A poet of some repute, this is his
only book of non-fiction.
