The Corries were the greatest Scots duo ever! Thanks for sharing this solo by Ronnie!

This is one of my favorite songs despite the tragedy it speaks of. We must never forget and we must fight for what is good at all times because unfortunately there are those who call themselves human and yet perpetuate things such as this. It seems to me the majority of human kind longs for peace and safety and respect. Let us live our lives upholding the goodness as long as we draw breath. Take care Sir, Rolland B. Heiss

@TheSpiritof45 The Scottish administration planned and ordered it and King William signed the orders. It was regular troops of the Scottish army who carried it out. The commanding officer was a Campbell and a small percentage of the actual troops were Campbells but it was not a Clan Campbell operation as such. It probably suited central govt at that time to portray it was Highlanders killing each other as it shifted responsibility from central government itself.

@TheSpiritof45 Keep reading your Scottish history off biscuit tins. What bit off what I said is exactly false?

TheSpiritof45

@gaconnochie FALSE FALSE YOUR NO BETTER THAN THE HORSE HUGGING WILLIAM GO JUMP OFF ANOCH MOR X PS ONE CAMPBELL!!!!!

allan connochie

killing 900 Campbells without a sword being lifted in defence! They were all as bad or as good as each other :-) What made Glencoe more significant was that it was an atrocity concocted by the Scottish government in Edinburgh itself and not an atrocity due to caln rivalry. The troops used happened to be Campbells but it easily could have been others.

@MysticalViking I wouldn't worry about your ancestors being connected to one clan or the other they all have their dark points to hide. For instance pre 1601 when the Scottish and English kingdoms were completely seperate the MacDonalds on at least two occassions allied themselves to an English invasion of Scotland - and as far as atrocities go Glencoe wasn't a particularly large massacre compared with some. During the 17thC Herschip of Argyle the MacDonald bard's boasted openly about the clan

I was first aquainted with this song at a Scottish Festival sung by Alex Beaton. It got me studying some of my Scotts history. What a huge tragedy. How sad I was to find the Campbells were our protectorate clan. Our's was a small one on their land. BUT I am a Jacobite.

@osoneill , I'll hazard a guess: it comes from a fire. Either grass or wood, it's hard to tell. As I said it's only a guess... :-))

Ronnie Browne is a giant of song, and I'm glad he's walked amongst us. His songs with Roy were wonderful, but now we see who was the true genius of the two. No disrespect to Roy is meant, by the way.
