ON THIS day - the 13th February - in 1692, an event occurred that was to become one of the most bloodiest and shocking in Scotland’s history.

In what came to be known as the Massacre of Glencoe - or in Scottish Gaelic Mort Ghlinne Comhann (murder of Glen Coe) - 34 men, two women and two children of the clan MacDonald were murdered in cold blood.
