The Beatons, or Clann Meic-bethad, were hereditary physicians in Gaelic Scotland from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, trained in the classical medical tradition and numbering several Scottish kings among their patients. John Bannerman's study traces the family across four hundred years, setting their medical learning against a Highland society that combined clan warfare with a deep respect for scholarship and craft, drawing on manuscript and genealogical sources to reconstruct a family history that had never before been told in full.
