CLAN MacGREGOR's FALL: Scottish Clan History and the Battle of Glen Fruin

The history of the MacGregor Clan, or any Highland Clans is colourful. Proscribed for 180 years off and on following the Battle of Glen Fruin, but why? Was it the fault of Clan MacGregor, Clan Colquhoun, or Clan Campbell? Who were the cause of the fall of Clan Gregor, Scottish history tour guide Bruce Fummey tells tales from Scotlands History

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

Gotta love it when the KZbin algorithm actually hands you a hidden gem of a channel

When the Campbell's aren't making soup, they're making trouble.

As a descendant of Clan McGregor I stumbled onto this video. You’re a good storyteller, sir. I mean that seriously and not sarcastically.

[@AriktheTerrible]

Everyone knows the Campbells were perfidious.

[@christophero55]

It's amazing how potent this feud still is. As a young man I was at the highland games in Pleasanton California and that year they put the MacGregor and Campbell clan tents right next to each other. Big mistake. There was a huge brawl. I wasn't present but the other MacGregors told me the Campbells started it, and we finished it.

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

As a MacDonald, I of course would suspect the Campbells of treachery. It's in their blood, now isn't it?

[@cheryldidur2300]

I'm really inclined to see the Campbells as instigators and enablers of the violence between the Colquhouns and the MacGregors. None of them seem faultless, but I think Argyll carries a lot of responsibility for the end result.

Campbell. They also Stabbed we MacDonalds in the back. I am a direct descendant of Somerled, King of the Isles and father of Clan Donald

When you ask your Scottish mum what clan you're from, and she starts her response with "oh... well... errr...", just walk away... just walk away...

[@stephengreerii8678]

As a MacGregor descendant, I see the fault lying on the Duke of Argylle and King James. DESPITE THEM all

[@cgavin1]

Huge respect to Alasdair MacGregor. Balls of steel to take on that many horse. Pincer or not. Clever and brave af.

[@zscottsgerman]

My ancestors were part of the MacGregor clan. Before passing away, my father collected info and put together a book. This video has great info and insight into what happened

[@jefferycampbell8724]

Im a proud Campbell only thing I care about is all Scottish history. Whoever was at fault dont matter its just awesome to hear someone talk that knows about Scottish history. Thank you for starting a great channel to learn from!!!

[@mac.1172]

I’m a MacGregor myself. Direct descendant of rob roy as a matter of fact. This was a great video.

[@wally10ize]

As a descendant of the" children of the mist" I congratulate you on your synthesis of the Macgregor history. It is hard to attribute the dominant thead of the several competing strands that you outline. A modern perspective of right and wrong does not travel back 400 years too easily. The black and white of today is more finely nuanced yesterday.. In my book the Campbells are the guilty ones.

[@IWasSoMuchOlderThen]

What a wonderful story. I'm Canadian - my Grandpa was so very proud of his clan roots (MacGregor by way of Jack and Davidson - I think that's Clan Chattan? I named my first son after Grandpa - another generation to carry the name Davidson forward) and I know he would have loved these stories. To the very end of his life, he wore his clan cap and got terribly flinty about clan Campbell. . . "Never trust a Campbell," Grandpa used to say. "Never as far as you could throw him! And may it be to the nearest bog." ;-)

[@cherylmacgregor5650]

Wow! This video explains this topic so even I can understand! I’m a MacGregor by marriage but have made it my “duty” to learn as much about MacGregor history as I can. Thank you very much! Cheers from Florida!

[@paulmcgillivray8318]

It's clear and not unusual that the Campbells were the cause of The conflict in Glenn Fruin. Excellent presentation Bruce.

[@DrewMacGregor]

MacGregor Despite Them. Proud MacGregor here. Flippin Campbells
