SCOTLAND - Tour


Something so not right about this. Bizarre...was man put on the planet for this???!


Glencoe...Campbell is a dirty word.

the McDonald Clan massacre in 1692 took place here. The Campbell Clan enjoyed 2 weeks of the McDonlad Clan hospitality, nestled in the glen.... then the Campbells got the urge to slaughter them in the night due to Royal King Williams orders to try and pacify 'highlanders' again...bloody hell!

...eerie me being a decendant from the McDonald Clan...

Hamish the Hairy Highland Coo!

First stop on Scottish Highlands tour...
