Perhaps by any chance he was linked to Norman MacDonald?

I had 2 drs., one named Dalrymple and another McPhail. I also have a friend named Jim Campbell and knew a McCallum whose father was from Sterlingshire. My family's mostly Irish, but I've got English, German, and Scottish roots too and live in the USA, in Ga. I first heard about the song and the Corries in my British Folklore class in college. Such a sad song, but the two singers were fantastic!

I'm curious what those words were, can you tell us?

@@virginiaconnor8350stirlingshire. That’s where I’m from Falkirk

I hope you stood at the henderson stone the mcdonalds and hendersons from that area are my ancestors

all school kids should learn about this

Helen Rudd I am

There are lots of things that should be taught in Scottish schools that were not when I lived in Clydebank. Not even the Clydebank Blitz. I'm 63.

SantsaStark

the real Scottish history is not taught in school curriculum, thanks to English government. Parents teach your children the truth

A black day for king william it all came from a late oath in bad weather my mcdonalds are from near glencoe it was a horrific crime rule and divide tactics again us scots must learn from the past

Je suis français aujourd'hui 13fevrier j'ai une pensée pour le massacre de Glen coe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

James Wilkins 'murder under trust'..well ...would never trust a sheep ..horse.. cattle thieving McDonald....trust..you must be joking what a laugh...they were 'all as bad' but hey... 'blinkers' are an amazing thing especially for the romantically created highlands...

+onemexican1 But it was legal when the English and their Campbell lackies staged the Highland Clearances?

+onemexican1 I think you will find that people in Scotland, have a great deal of sympathy for the Macdonalds of the Western Seaboard and the Glens of Antrim, wether in Antrim, Islay, Kintyre, Uist, Benbecula, Skye, Moidart, Knoydart, Morar, Arisaig, Ardnamurchan, Glengarry, Glencoe, Glenaladale or Keppoch in the Braes of Lochaber, where ever they came from, people today, very thankfully, are aware of the History of the Highlands and of the great custodians of gaelic culture the Macdonals. So, yes people are very proud to be associated with the Macdonalds, and also the name Campbell, in the Scottish syche, it is a disgraced name, forever associated with treachery, and wether that is a shortbread tin notion or not is irrelevant, that is just the way it is in Scotland and the Highlands, the name Campbell is synonamous with Treachery and Untrustworthiness.... Up the Macdonalds of Dunivaig and the Glens

Wrong. The clearances were caused by the hereditary chiefs realising they could make more money out of sheep than they got from their clansmen. Nothing English about it. Apparently, at the time, the highlanders evicted from their homes ,bamed the chiefs new "four footed clansmen "

Ray Lumley think you'll find the english were involved. granted, some Scots were paid by the english to turn judas. however, was still english soldiers of the time that raped, pillaged and murdered Scottish clans who opposed the english crown. they spared no one in the Highlands, man woman or child. pisses me off when i hear the brits talking about ethnic cleansing when they are guilty of the same crime.

Scottish history is not all about cowardly massacres such as this, please get your facts right !!!!

Scotland will certainly exceed your expectations as long as you are not expecting sunshine and/or warm temperatures, we get those about 2 days each year

What if there was a dog called Campbell?

Good

@@lyrimetacurl0 they turn it into soup and serve to English tourists. Tastes like chicken seemingly

@@iainwalkingshaw1006 haha Crispy fried tales for toothpicks!

Fortunately my Campbell lineage doesn't show up in my last name. LOL

and iam 🇬🇧

I feel bad for your family and you but hey

+Ann Murrell Its called hame!!!

+Ann Murrell Been there several times Ann and felt the chilling presence in the glen you experienced, so have a few others I have spoken to over the years.

+Ann Murrell Have felt it myself. It is a very strange place, with a weird atmosphere..

I haven't been but I've heard a few say similar things about Glencoe

+Ann Murrell ..the first time I was in Glencoe, I had fallen asleep in the car it was a snowy December day, I woke up, and within seconds, I felt that we were in a strange land ....the strangeness was over and above a bleak winters day, it was over and above the loneliness of the narrow winding road that had only us and our little tiny Mini ...a fence, perhaps there was a tumbling down stone shelter for a shepard, and a burn winking through now and again ....perhaps it was just waking suddenly to an unfamiliar road ....( I am from California) but I think it was my Celtic blood responding to the place itself ...... the second time I was in Glencoe, I was awake when we arrived, early spring day ...and still the eerie silence of the land, the utter emptyness of the landscape....the lack of most signs of human occupancy, and the lack of other humans, ( both times there, we were the only car on the road ....the length of the glen .....) ..... it was a while ago now, back in the early/mid 80s,.....but as you can tell, the place made a deep impression on me, one that I remember vividly to this day .....

Very sad indeed such proud people

Merci pour ces paroles.

a roof o'er theirr heads surely?

It sounds like a waltz

My family are mcdonalds from near glencoe

+Linda cp So far the best holiday I ever took was in Scotland many years ago when I was young. And that was when I discovered The Corries.

Yeah, and in my tradition, any son of a bitch, grinning at you stupidly ought to be shot. So, How's that for goddamn traditions? Yeah, your all peace lovin' do rights to every one around you, no matter their behaviour.

@@josephbuckley7240 Sounds like a badarse culture, but there ain't none like it in the real world.

IM a Campbell and am actually related to a number of MacDonalds - just as the two clans were at the time - its why the Campbells of Argyll were ordered by the king to carry out the massacre . It had as much to do with religion as politics or anything else ! Not Many Scots these days are as hard as the expats you have met !!!

re Neil Campbell lmao Try renting a room from my uncle John MacDonald if yer name is Campbell, even if every room is vacant ye'll no get a bed for the night.

I'm actually from the Argyles who really killed the McDonalds, because McDonald swore allegiance to William, but latter recanted and turned on William of Orange for Bonnie prince Charlie.

@@nocoskull44 this is the best account of what happend yet it had nothing to do with scotland it was the English to blame

yet to this day so many scots go to praise this man that signed for the massacre of one of our clans is beyond me

Only a train ride away buddy. Sorry for having to go through that crap on the way up but will be worth it when your here

You'll be made very welcome in Scotland

You are French. You are very welcome to meet the auld alliance

Aye, and I'm the pope.

+Douglas McDonald re-read your history books. Scottish "freedom" was only a factor later in the jacobite rising under the young pretender. catholic supremacy across Britain was their aim. most of Scotland was Presbyterian and loathed the highlanders. they have supported a French invasion of England and the lowlands. Catholicism, not Scotland was their inspiration.

+Liam Cunliffe You fuckin clown, depends what history books your reading, probably the two biggest clowns in England, David Starkey and Simon Schma, the English aristocracy just didnt want a Catholic about the place, also, those dirty bastards, what they feared most, which is also what the loved most, was a loss of power and privellage,

+Liam Cunliffe The Crown of England was the main aim of the Young Pretender, sure he said to John Macdonald of Glenaladale, that if he enjoyed his own again, he would meet his in St James yet.

they are cowards

It's history and cannot be changed along with many other tragedies including slavery, wars and where all man made. We must learn by the past and not revenge.

the Cambell's had orders from the English to do this

@@mistyblude16 When in doubt blame the English.

​@@mistyblude16They were allies. Campbells & MacDonalds traditional enemies were used to killing each other. The difference here was accepting hospitality & then doing it - breaking/betraying the rules. A time of social dislocation.

Its "no Hawkers or Campbells" on the main door at the Clachaig Inn also.I visit often.

Totally agree Mary!

hawker mean traveler, iam a traveler and i can go way back in my history, the person who owns that hotel is most probably english, reason being the highlanders are not racist people, the travelers used to have great respect in the highlands

The word campbell means crooked mouth ( liar), or so I've been led to believe. As is so often the case, the traitor within can do more harm than a declared (honest ) enemy outwith.

Lol

You will not be murdered.

Thanks...Tom Campbell

My family were first registered as living there since 1747after the battle of culloden a census of land oni NG families and we have lived within 30miles of there ever since apart from me who lives in England for a while but we always go home as a child I wS not allowed to play with a campbell

and also evil

I visited Glen Coe a week ago for the first time and I could barely hold back tears myself. Somehow that massacre just resonates with me. I can barely imagine how one from the McDonald clan must feel.

Bitter, lass, very bitter. Never trust a Campbell.

thats brutal

I am english, the more I hear and read what happened to the Scots the more I hate being english, It was and will always be your country, we had no right to take it from you or murder your people. I hope one day your country is free again.

@@lisajohnson9456 Never be ashamed of who you are

poor things

very true

Why would the Campbells obey an order from King William in 1692? The Act of Union didn't take place until 1707. Until then the Scottish Parliament still had autonomy.

Kev D bullshit! I learned all about this piece of Scottish history

I'm an American, Welsh and English in blood, but we're looking into it and finding Scottish. Even before I knew any of that, I have had a lifelong thirst for folk songs and the history of the British Isles. It saddens me, culture and history is slowly fading away to a world of lust and leisure, what once was a world of true pride and work. (Edit: In America, we don't even learn about the Barbary Wars)

The Barbary Wars, in the time of truly understanding what islam is about. Wake up USA and many others before too late, as the intentions of islam has not changed. History will be repeated more savagely if it is not learned.!

GARY MCGOWAN I went to secondary school in the 1970's (in Scotland) and we were taught Scottish history all the way back to the Picts. Unification of Scottish and English crowns with King James VI becoming James I of England. William Wallace, the Battle of Stirling Bridge, etc. (so many things in the movie "Braveheart" are just absolute rubbish, to put it mildly.) Robert the Bruce, the Battle of Bannockburn, etc. The two Jacobite Rebellions. The Glencoe Massacre. The Battle of Culloden. The only preunification English history we learned was in relation to the invasion by the Roman Empire -- Boudicca, Julius Caesar, Hadrian's Wall, etc. After that it was British history (and some European.) I live in Canada now, and I have no idea what they are teaching in Scottish schools these days, but I'm very glad I to have learned what I did then.

I'm English with Scottish ancestry and I know. I have cryed thinking about it.

Cryogenius333 .... beautiful Scottish people.

Really all of Scottish history is on some game of thrones shit. Martin drew a lot of inspiration from events in Scottish history

Aye. 'Slaughter under trust' was actually a crime of treason under Scottish law at the time.

exactly

Allen sinclair......It should still be.

they deserved it, if they didn't want to be killed they should have followed the law.

I'm a Campbell and I'm sorry for what my clan did

welcome to scotia

we are hard to get rid of.

Ok

@@whackedfire3317 you're getting your revenge through those hamburgers

My Campbell grandfather spoke Gaelic.

leonard Hurley: Roy Williamson, the lead singer, was very affected by the narrative in the song.
