MASSACRE OF GLENCOE
February 13, 1692

Who slaughtered whom?

Thirty-seven members of the MacDonald family of Glencoe were killed by soldiers under the command John Dalrymple.

John's career suffered only a minor bump in 1695 when he had to resign because of his involvement in the Glencoe Massacre. By 1703 he was back up and running and became the earl of Stair.

The background of this massacre was the loyalty of the MacDonald family to former king James II.
