Description: From the Dust Jacket The Gaelic Meic-bathad or Clan MacBeth was an outstanding example in Scotland of a kindred pursing a profession on a hereditary basis. Members of the clan practiced medicine in the classic Gaelic tradition in various parts of Scotland from the early fourteenth to the early eighteenth century. As such they belonged to the professional learned orders that were so distinctive a feature of the kin-based society in Scotland and Ireland, More medieval Gaelic manuscripts known to have been in their possession have survived than from any other professional kindred in Scotland so it is possible to identify many individual members of the clan and their activities. This is the first detailed study of the Beatons and their medicine.
