Description
Reviews

This name derives from the Gaelic 'Macaonghuis', meaning ‘son of Angus’. The earliest reference to the sons of Angus is given in the seventh-century chronicle, Senchus Fer n'Alban (History of the Men of Scotland). The kindred of Angus are said to have possessed Islay, later to be the seat of the Macdonald Lordship of the Isles. The Maclnneses, as can be historically traced with more certainty, arose around the Morvern peninsula in the far west of Argyll, and seem to have held possession of Kinlochaline Castle.

R. R. McIan describes his figure thus:

‘The figure represents a warrior assailed by archers, the shower of whose deadly missiles he wards off by the dexterous use of his target. The Highland archers were excellent marksmen; and it has been previously observed that the Celtic practice was to draw the arrow to the breast. A bowman was termed saighdear, from saighead, an arrow, and fear, a man, a word which appears to be the origin of ‘soldier’.

The figurine weighs a little under 0.7 kilos. It stands 18cm tall, on a base rougly 11cm by 8cm.
