  • In an age of slaughter, religious intolerance and bloody clan feuds, what makes Glen Coe stand out above the many other massacres in the Highlands? Should a soldier unconditionally follow orders, even if those orders are to murder children? Was it “the Campbells”… or is that just what the real villains wanted people to think?
    These questions and more are at the heart of our new film, ‘Cruel Is the Snow: Committing the Glen Coe Massacre’. The conclusion to over three years of work, ‘Cruel Is the Snow’ continues the story told in our extremely popular documentaries ’Fallen Kingdom’, ‘Inglorious Revolutions’, ‘Guardians to Gallows Herd’ and ‘Knives in the Dark’.
    Aging alcoholic and closet Jacobite Captain Robert Campbell is reluctantly tasked with a secret mission to destroy the Jacobite resistance. He is to quarter his men upon MacIain of Glen Coe, the Lord of the Gallows Herd - but Robert Campbell does not know what the secret is. Nor do his hosts, the MacDonalds of Glen Coe, or, indeed, the majority of his men.
    When the terrible secret is revealed, it will change the Scottish Highlands forever, and mark the beginning of the end for the Gàidhealtachd.

    As an American, I've heard of the Glencoe massacre, but never this in depth. Videos like this with so much detail are what I seek out.

    Such an incredible storyteller! As you began weaving the story, always drawing closer towards the terrible event, I felt increasingly sick. I kept thinking the terrible litany of atrocities had to stop. Instead, you inexorably continued listing the evil done that day.
    Thank you for your research and for the education. I had no idea.

    Thank you for your detailed research and the amazing documentary! The Glencoe Massacre is also known in Germany but you can't find such a good summary of all the backgrounds. Very interesting that already a few hundred years ago people used the phrase 'I had to follow my orders' as an 'excuse' for their crimes - and that other people did not accept their attitude.
    Well done 👍

    You give an excellent rendition and proposition as to why Glen Lyons (Campbell) was so guilty of 'Murder under Trust'. He knew that Alastair thought that his clan was protected and had no idea, so used that fact to subdue and commit the atrocity.

    Excellent work with this and the two previous videos! I learned a lot. I really enjoyed your sarcastic jokes in the first episode. Here you had a more respectful tone, fittingly in tune with the greatness of the atrocities. Thank you!

    Great quality of work and very easy to listen to. This series of episodes wouldn't be out of place on TV. I wanted to learn a bit more about the battle of Culloden but didn't think I'd end up being this interested in the History of the Highlands. Keep up the good work I'm surprised you haven't got more subs! 👍

    This is the most in depth account of the Glen Coe massacre I have ever heard, and I say thanks for the research and posting. One only has to visit the area briefly, to get a hint of the atmosphere; which I have more than once. I would recommend this and the dramatised version, featuring James Robertson Justice..

  • @user-kv1nj2kz6r

    Very well done. It would have been nice to have had the backstory of 'why' the massacre took place, but the projection of how it all went down was excellent.

      Ah, this is the second of two films. The first, “Knives In the Dark: Engineering the Glen Coe Massacre” is what you’re looking for: th-cam.com/video/cx_lTvWmSgU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Wlv766lGHdodMFN8

    My father never talked much of family. Upon looking up my exes and how his family was given land and title for saving a king from a charging stag. I looked up mine and the first thing I saw was glencoe. I called my dad and was like WTH? He says well it wasn’t really a massacre it wasn’t that many people… yep guess we are Campbells.

      Hahahaha, you're right. Meeting the wilfully ignorant on a bright day is unpleasant enough!!! 😂
      Did you even bother watching the video? Or did you just do what every other blinkered fool does and run with your half-baked prejudices?
      It's rather typical of a MacGregor to not only ignore the facts presented but also to fail to remember that it was our clan who gave succour to Rob Roy after his persecution at the hands of Montrose.

    In the modern world, those Statutes of Iowa of 1609 would be classed as borderline genocidal, would they not? Think about it. Replace Scotland with Tibet (ie the heads of monasteries/Buddhist leaders), and England with China. What you're doing is using your law (imposed by force) to coerce the elites of a conquered indigenous people into having their children grow up in a foreign language and religion, thereby stripping them of their native culture, and surely ethnicity too.
    I hope there is a moral reckoning on this one day. It seems evident from your videos that Gaelic people in Scotland didn't simply give up that culture and language by choice.
