Hi Sandra, one of my favorites is Scottish Highlanders by Charles MacKinnon. It gives a pretty good description of clan life and some info and crest on specific clans as well. You also get some history about Scotland as well. I bought the book through Barnes and Nobles in their bargain book section.
