Cold Case 3: “Murder under Trust” – the Massacre of Glencoe
The background.. . On a cold and dark February day in 1692, 30 members of Clan Macdonald of Glencoe were slaughtered by Scottish government forces for failing to (allegedly) pledge their allegiance to the crown. A small case of genocide in the snowy Vale of desolate Glencoe.
Case notes... A master class on how to blame everyone else and how to apply DARVO. Campbells will be admitted under safe conduct. The Master of Stair and “Slippery John”. The Oath of Allegiance. “Extirpate” the MacDonalds. Highland Hospitality. The orders arrive. The massacre takes place and we will receive an apology from William III in person!
