Highland clan origin legends were not intended to convey absolute truth to later generations about how the clan started.  Well, then what were they intended for?  For this episode, I share from a book by Michael Newton, The Everyday Life of the Clans of the Scottish Highlands.  We start by learning about some of the purposes of these legends generally, then read the origin legends of two clans: the Macintyres and MacRaes.
