Clans: from kinship to capitalism - Part two

Clans: from kinship to capitalism - Part two

In the second instalment of their discussion, Jackie and her guest Sir Tom Devine look at the Battle of Culloden and how it changed the course of clan history. Then, they turn their attention to the centuries that followed, taking the story right up to the modern day.
