Trained in the classical Gaelic tradition, over the years their expertise led them to minister to Lords, Lairds and Kings of Scotland. At some point, one of the Beaton physicians came over to Mull in the entourage of chiefs of the Maclean clan and subsequently was awarded land – at Pennycross in the south of the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book looks at the contemporary historical setting, the type of medicine practised by the Beatons, the use they made of herbal treatments (a use which has not disappeared to the present day) and the almost unbelievable survival of Gaelic manuscripts from their library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover the legendary Beaton dynasty of hereditary Highland healers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore centuries of traditional medical knowledge and practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngage with a fascinating chapter of Highland and Hebridean history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead another celebrated title from Origin - an imprint of Birlinn Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Reviews --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'a colourful book that brings an arcane aspect of Highland history to life - \u003cstrong\u003eWest Highland Nots and Queries'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristine Leach moved to Mull more than 30 years ago.
