Massacre of Glencoe

[Phil]

Alright lads, let's try and remember the forum rules on religious discussions and hope that that puts an end to the comments about this church or that church, etc.

Where have you been all day? But I agree - I don't think there is anything in this thread that should involve religion.

thanks for the info

I got to it as soon as I say the thread. Real life takes priority

I also agree, Glencoe is a beautiful area. I passed through in 1999 and really enjoyed it.

Off the main topic, as I already stated the reason for the animosity, you forget the MacFarlane' as cattle theives... they don't call a full moon "MacFarlanes Lantern" for nothing.

Now, if I remember correctly, the Miller's are a sept of the MacFarlanes....which, if that's right, would probably make my father's clan "guilty by association".

Though I'm pretty sure my dad hasn't nicked (ie: stolen) any cattle lately! ;)

hehehehe

cheers

At the Pleasanton games last year, the Campbell clan had schemed to march a cuffed and chained "Ronald McDonald" clown in the clan parade. Now if I'm not mistaken, I believe that one of the MacDonald chiefs had been attending the games, and was watching the parade. While this may have been an intentionally spiteful attempt at a joke by these particular Campbells, I don't believe that an entire clan, as a whole, can be bad. I've met a few Campbells at various games, and some of them were pretty decent people.

I know I'm not the first Henderson to pipe up in this thread about our clan, but I've always been frustrated by the fact that most historians exclude the presence of clan Henderson (MacKendrick) from the story of Glencoe.

i have a friend who could be related to the remaining surviors of the massacre but he said it was a slim chance.

did you expect any thing different?

I gotta admit that as a boy I struggled with my Grandfather Murdoch's contempt of things Campbell. The only Campbells I knew were a family up the street with seven girls - all very good looking and quite friendly.

an of course you spent a lot of time up the street huh.
Did they happen ta have red hair?

[Riverkilt]

Each was quite blonde...strikingly so. And each was gifted by the Creator with the features that attract boys and young men at a hormonal level.
