Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Massacre Of Glencoe
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Massacre Of Glencoe
The anti-Campbell thing is I imagine a bit waring for some Campbells. It is based on very little too. The MacDonalds have been somewhat romanticised and the Campbells somewaht demonised but both were as bad or as good as each other. On several occassions the MacDonalds openl and not so openly connived with the English against their won country during national struggles and a few decades earlier than Glencoe the MacDonald bards were boasting of how they and their Irish allies had killled 900 Campbells (during the Herschip of Argyl) without a sword being raised against them.
