The Massacre of Glencoe - The aftermath of the Jacobite Rising of 1689
In the early hours of the 13th February 1692, 120 Scots Army soldiers of the Earl of Argyll’s Regiment of Foot, carry out the Massacre of Glencoe. The troops had been billeted with the MacDonalds of Glencoe since early February and were under the command of Captain Robert Campbell of Glenlyon. They carry out the orders that were written by Major Robert Duncanson of Argyll’s Regiment the day before:
“You are hereby ordered to fall upon the rebells, the McDonalds of Glenco, and put all to the sword under seventy. you are to have a special care that the old Fox and his sones doe upon no account escape your hands, you are to secure all the avenues that no man escape.

Lovely atmospheric and eerie image of this place Graham which in this capture echoes part of its history.
All about power and gain and never about the common people. Every country on earth has its Glencoe moments in its history. Sadly the powers that be keep repeating the mistakes of the past when it comes to caring about the people.
