Glencoe
Glencoe is perhaps Scotland’s most famous and most scenic glen. On the 13 February 1692, in the aftermath of the Jacobite uprising of 1689–92, an incident known as the Massacre of Glencoe took place in this glen. An estimated 38 members and associates of Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by government forces billeted with them, with others later alleged to have died of exposure, on the grounds they had not been prompt in pledging allegiance to the new monarchs, William and Mary.
