“The Glencoe M******e (1692) was a brutal episode in Scottish history where government soldiers many from Clan Campbell, under orders from King William III, k*lled 38 members of Clan MacDonald of Glencoe. The MacDonalds had delayed swearing allegiance to the king after the Glorious Revolution, and this was used as a pretext for punishment. The most infamous part was that the Campbell soldiers had been living as guests among the MacDonalds for nearly two weeks, sharing food and shelter, before turning on them in the early morning hours.
