Massacre of Glencoe

[freddie]

There is a pub/hotel in Glencoe (sorry I can't remember the name, but it was Gaelic and started with the letter 'C') where there hung a notice over the front door saying 'No dogs or Campbells allowed'. I visited it last summer but couldn't find the sign, so they must have removed it. Glencoe is a magnificent place to visit and I urge anyone in the area to do so. Did you know that the MacDonalds of Glencoe (or MacIans) were originally Hendersons, a name I'm closely associated with. Clan Donald obtained Chiefship of the clan through marriage.

I bet that was the same public house my brother-in-law worked at when he lived in Scotland. He tells of that same sign. I'll ask him the next time I talk to him.

Is it the King's House Hotel? (yes I know that doesn't start with a 'C' )

I was just fixing to chime in and state the Henderson ties here. Actually, from what I understand, it was the female link that was a Henderson. So, this line is "half Henderson" so-to-speak. And, there were many Hendersons slaughtered at Glencoe. The "Big Henderson" was MacIan's bodyguard and fell beside him in the massacre.

Certainly in the early 80’s there was a sign in the Clachaig which announced, ‘No Campbell’s served here’. It didn’t refer to soup either.

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. It's a great place, a real walkers pub (muddy boots and all) which must be very welcoming in the colder months with those big roaring fires. The range of real ales is fantastic and all in great condition. It must be brilliant when the live music is on. To find it you follow the road (or should I say track) off the main road towards Glencoe village itself, and it's about a third of a mile on the left.
