Well said & well put, Brian! A tip o' the bonnet tae ye!

It is also conviently forgotten by some that the MacDonalds were loyal to the English crown when it was profitable to them, and that Campbell of Glenlyon, the officer commanding the detachment at Glencoe, had seen his property destroyed during a raid by MacDonalds the year before. It is also forgotten that the Sheriff who was supposed to receive MacIan's oath of loyalty vouched for the Glencoe MacDonalds to the government -- was a Campbell, and that some of the refugees from Glencoe were sheltered by Campbells after the incident. It is also forgotten that there were some Campbells who served in the Jacobite forces at Culloden.

"myth-buster"...I like that...Who ya going to call? :mrgreen:
