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.
