[261] The Chiefly line was originally "de Vaus of Dirleton", but changed to "Vans of Barnbarroch" after the loss of Dirleton Clanlands", a brief synopsis: Two actors from the tv show "Outlander" set out to make a mini-documentary about the history of the clans and historical battles of the Scottish Highlands. Sounds interesting, I'm not a fan of the tv show but I don't have anything against it either. Romantic historical fiction isn't my genre, and thus I know it's not for me. However, the subtitle suggests it's full of whisky, warfare, and adventure and those things do interest me. But instead of that, the book is full of an arguably comedic formula that gets old, and gets there very fast. I would describe that formula as something like the following:

However, they were entertainingly told, and great for anyone unfamiliar with the vast and varied history of Scotland.
