Product Description
Synopsis
'You are hereby ordered to fall upon the rebels, the MacDonalds of Glencoe, and to put all to the sword under seventy.' This was the treacherous and cold-blooded order ruthlessly carried out on 13 February 1692, when the Campbells slaughtered their hosts the MacDonalds at the Massacre of Glencoe. It was a bloody incident which had deep repercussions and was the beginning of the destruction of the Highlanders. John Prebble's masterly description of the terrible events at Glencoe was praised as 'Evocative and powerful' in the "Sunday Telegraph".

4.0 out of 5 stars A well detailed and tragic story, 6 Oct 2000
By A Customer
An example of the brutality meted out to the Scottish people down the ages. Obviously some saw the tiny highland village as an example to be made, particularly after the clan armies had risen and met their end at Culloden. This is only a small part of a long and tragic history, and although distant, Prebble describes in horrific detail the sufferings they endured.
