157 Scottish Clans and the Highland Charge! Pt 1

The Highland charge was a devastating military tactic that scattered enemy forces on numerous occasions.  The big question is, "Which specific clans actually executed the Highland charge?"  Many people see Alasdair mac Colla MacDonnell as the author of this tactic and it was specifically the clans fighting under him that performed this feat of arms.  Yet not all the those who had this experience were Highlanders!  Join me as I examine which clans likely participated in this (this is in no way an exhaustive list).   Source: Roberts, John L., Clan, King and Covenant: History of the Highland Clans from the Civil War to the Glencoe Massacre on Amazon here.
