Tour Scotland photograph of clouds rolling into Glencoe, Scotland. " You are hereby ordered to fall upon the rebels, the MacDonalds of Glencoe, and to put all to the sword under seventy. " This was the treacherous and cold-blooded order ruthlessly carried out on 13 February 1692, when the Campbells slaughtered their hosts the MacDonalds at the Massacre of Glencoe. It was a bloody incident which had deep repercussions and was the beginning of the destruction of the Highlanders.

I love the highlands. I was at Glencoe in January last year when the ground and the mountain were covered in snow. It then began to snow more while we were there, it was awesome, what a magnificent landscape.
Stunningly beautiful, intriguing, sets so beautiful upon my eyes, like the poetic emotions in my heart! Incredible!
