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.
I'm a technophobe and have no idea how you can make such top quality and I'm my opinion as good as BBC ect no better than good wit unbiased and educated.Well done I'm now a subscriber and also I'm a Munro bagger❤
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! 👍
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
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 👍
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..
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.
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.
So when the macdonalds slaughter countless covenanters nobody cares but when the mcdonalds get slaughtered by a bunch of campbells suddenly it's the worst thing ever? LMAO
1. Watch 'Guardians To Gallows Herd' which details the crimes committed on the Lowlands by Lochaber MacDonalds 2. Said forays, looting and sometimes murder were often committed against their peers. Noone is playing down the unethical nature of such acts 3. Campbells made up less than a third of the government force 4. There is no excuse for mass murder. Ever.
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. Learning is hard when you leave your brains in the peat bogs
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.
Thanks for watching sir. Delighted to hear you found it useful!

What location is this with the stadium behind the cathedral?
Thank you for producing and posting these episodes. They’re beautifully crafted.
It’s Edinburgh Castle, the unfortunate timing of the photo means the seating is for the ‘Tattoo’ and concerts during the summer!
Brilliant and informative😎. One of my favourite places to head on the old motorbike and camp out… a truly haunting part of Scotland.
It really is!
Brilliant film
Good work sir by the way
