We were set up!?

Unsurprisingly, in the lead up to the anniversary of the Massacre, we're not the only ones finding space to write about it. Here's a copy of an article published in The Sunday Post, and it looks like our No Hawkers or Campbells sign gets a mention again too!


So, were the Clan Campbell really to blame? Don't ask us, we're just hoteliers! Instead, get yourself a copy of the book from somewhere like Amazon.

Best seller or not, chances are the sign won't be going any time soon. It was put there by a former owner - a MacDonald, and far be it for us to consider changing the policy of the last 40 years!

Anniversary of the Massacre of Glencoe

This Friday, 13th February will see the anniversary of the infamous Massacre of Glencoe, and chances are that Sunday 15th February will see the annual wreath laying at the monument in Glencoe Village.
The story of the massacre, commonly referred to as 'murder under trust' is well documented and you can find more information on the GlencoeScotland web site.

Fortunately, things have moved on a little since 1692. Glencoe is perhaps now best known across the world for its rugged mountain scenery, though the acts of a cold February night 317 years ago are still not forgotten.
