It was in Glencoe that the MacDonald clans folk where massacred, seventeen of them murdered because of a tax that had been paid a few days late in in a village that was near to them. The monument to the people is just on the outskirts of the village and on a hill in an older part of the town. Also a small cottage that we passed where a young woman was locked in her room for weeks [ because the family didn't approve of the man she wanted to marry.{ back in the 15th century}. The family went to a neighbouring village where they contacted the plague. She survived and married her man.
It's an old fued between the Mac Donalds and the Campbells......Gosh things were harsh then....were lucky that there is no Campbell in the Tax dept now.....
