1692 THE MASSACRE OF GLENCOE
A brutal murder spree in the Scottish Highlands, signifying the beginning of the end for the clan system
Eerie screams echoed through the Glencoe valley in the early hours of a chilly February morning. Villagers fled for their lives, into the Highland frost, as soldiers massacred the Macdonald men in droves. These innocent folk paid the heavy price of misplaced loyalties and ancient rivalries, as their clan had been selected to make an example of what would happen to Scots who dared disregard their new overlords.
