In the foreword, MacKinnon describes his book as containing history, but the greater part consists of tradition - accounts of past happenings that have been handed down by older generations, fireside versions that are now known to but a very few.
The historical portions were gleaned from books, newspapers, letters and public documents, the traditions were 'gathered here and there as opportunity offered'.
