The Bannatyne manuscript is a traditional account of Clan MacLeod. It consists of 142 sheets of foolscap paper. The author's name does not appear in it. [1] Although the work is undated, a watermark dates the paper upon which it is written to 1829. [2] The textual material from which the manuscript is based is generally regarded to have been the work of William Macleod Bannatyne, Lord Bannatyne (died 1833). [3]
Lord Bannatyne was the son of Roderick Macleod (died 1784), and Isabel ( fl. 1736–1744), daughter of Hector Bannatyne of Kames. It was through his mother that William Macleod Bannatyne inherited the estate of Kames and assumed the name "Bannatyne". [4] William Macleod Bannatyne is known to have compiled an earlier account of the clan in 1767. [5]
Another candidate for the authorship of the Bannatyne manuscript is Bannatyne William Macleod, a cousin of William Macleod Bannatyne (died 1857). [6] The manuscript, therefore, seems to date from 1829 to the year of Bannatyne William Macleod's death in 1857. [7]
