Glen Coe, before the first snows of winter. Much of Scotland's early recorded history is full of violence - battles, feuds, murders, treachery. But the incident which to this day still arouses the strongest passions was the massacre of the MacIans (a sept of the clan Donald) in Glen Coe in 1692. It was not just the fact that 38 people were murdered by government troops, led by Captain Robert Campbell; it was the unforgivable sin that Campbell and his men had enjoyed the traditional Highland hospitality before turning on their hosts (who included his own niece and her husband) in an attempt at what today would be called "ethnic cleansing." Three hundred years later, Campbells still suffer the opprobrium of the massacre. Generations of Scots children have been taught "never trust a Campbell."
