    #1 Cappy. The Scots Clans were nearly always at odds with one another and feuds were usually bloody affairs. What happened in Glencoe to make it memorable, the Campbells accepted the hospitality of the MacDonalds before committing the bloody deed going against all protocol of the time. I don't know if this will down load Valarie Dunbars version of the song my favourite.
