520    "The story of a remarkable Scottish family set against the
       great sweep of Scotland's history . . [a] remarkable piece
       of research" (Magnus Linklater, former Scottish editor of 
       The Times ). The Haldanes have been in Scotland for over 
       eight hundred years, and their story illustrates many of 
       the defining themes of Scotland's history. Haldanes played
       significant roles in the Bruce war of independence, the 
       political upheavals which accompanied the establishment of
       the Stewart dynasty, the religious struggles of the 
       sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Darien Scheme and
       the Act of Union, the Jacobite rebellions, the development
       of the East India Company, and in the theological 
       controversies of the nineteenth century. In the twentieth 
       century, Haldanes are still to be found in the public eye 
       with some influence on matters of national significance. 
       In this book, Neil Stacy follows the fortunes of the 
       family, highlighting the extraordinary contributions they 
       have made in so many areas, as well as uncovering some of 
       the more colorful episodes in the family's history, such 
       as long-buried secrets of romance in the teeth of parental
       opposition, a military career threatened by a youthful 
       liaison with a blackmailing barmaid, and an attempt to run
       a temperance hotel in the western Highlands which ended in
       high farce. "For producing so many individuals of unusual 
       distinction there can be few families to rival the 
       Haldanes of Gleneagles. Neil Stacy does them proud, he 
       relates their 900-year saga with clarity and wit." -John 
       Keay, author of India: A History "I had expected to be 
       intrigued and entertained by this comprehensive history of
       the Haldanes of Gleneagles; and I was, abundantly." -
       Richard Holloway, former Bishop of Edinburgh.
