In scottish history they played a prominent part until after the jacobite re Bellion of 1745 when their distinctive dress was prohibited and a determined at tempt was made to break the allegiance of the clansmen to their chief. The breaking up of the military organization the basis of clan life struck a blow at the whole social system of the High Rands. The typical Clansman was a fierce proud simple fighting Man whose ancestry Lay in the pics. The Norse invaders and the celts ready to give his last drop of blood for the Honor of the tartan he wore.
