It amazes me to see how similar the landscape in Scotland is to parts of Bolivia.

The Master of Stair.. "a difficult man to read, calm, expressionless".. Not to be confused with the Master of Stare.

@dustysweeper i dont mean to be rude or anything and if i come accross that way im sorry but, just because a clan has land does not mean its big the campbells had little land compared to other clans but the campbells are close to if not the largest Highland clan and for people saying that were traitors, thieves and liars are wrong we just chose not to support silly rebellions we knew when to and when not to fight. but i am a proud Campbell and i always will be

[@mackenzierivercasey6752]

My family is Mac Donald in Canada and we have ties to glencoe.....it's wild to see...our family were trappers and farmers in Canada and then they went into Military...and a lot of our family has suffered....yet we still stick together!? lol! A part of me wonders if it's a long karmic pain we all have to heal together. I'm sad my great great great great whatever Grandpie stole the cows! Even in the bible it says that is taboo. We still keep swimming though! Our family has A LOT of spiritual work to do! Trust me they know. I hope the world can forgive us! And that we can be better people as a family across the globe! Whoever shares the same spirit and name! Remember the truth of life. Love and authenticity!

@residentevil4roks No offence to yourself, but many highlanders I have spoken with spit at the name Campbell. And claim all they did was attempt to play both sides and pandered to the will of the English government at the exspense of their highland brothers. And call them nothing but traitors and back stabbers. But I guess there is alot of bad blood in the history of it all...Peace

[@exizzz]

@residentevil4roks MacDonald is the largest clan, FACT

[@DoctorCheryl]

@dustysweeper I'd have to agree with you. I am just finishing up my discussion of Glencoe and the subsequent inquiry in my latest thesis chapter. Allan Macinnes, interviewed here, used to be my PhD supervisor before he left Aberdeen Uni for Strathclyde. Thanks for posting this.

[@DogPatchProductionz]

@dustysweeper not true look at the history all the clans started from family members branching off into other clans atleast from what ive read i havent read anything about a macdonald clan being started by someone who isnt a macdonald but do research on clan donald and see what you find and let me know because from my gatherings yes all MacDonalds, Macdonalds, McDonalds are related

[@wearywanderer2722]

Macdougalls, Macdonalds, Macdonells and Macalisters all descended from Somerled or his sons and DNA studies claim over 500,000 people worldwide can claim to be descendants of the Norse Celtic warrior.

[@karenedonald]

Weary Wanderer Donalds

[@McAleen]

Murder of the innocent and the buying and selling of the lives, is not something a campbell should be proud of. William was and will always be an insurper, being Catholic does not make you stupid.

[@dustysweeper]

@residentevi4rock You're not being rude. But as I stated above the size of the lands and titles the macdonalds had says much about the respect the MacDonald clans had. And with regards to how the Campbell clan is perceived, history never really tells the truth now, does it? There were a few clans that stood to benefit by the demise of the McDonalds and the Campbells were one of them. Oh and BTW Resident Evil 4 DOES rock...LOL.

[@dustysweeper]

I have to disagree on the Campbell's being the biggest clan in Scotland considering the MacDonald's owned and ruled most of the North West and Western isles I do not have actual numbers but the size of the lands they had speaks for itself.

[@Hippydon94]

with all the hate twords campbells and all you have actually done is listen to people that have no clue what their talking about, the massacre of clencoe is blammed on the campbell, and FACT is that out of like 30 soldiers there were 1 OR 2 campbells thats all and the black watch the first 3 regiments raised were Campbells. i dont get why people have such disdain for a clan they know NOTHING about, the campbells did not have anything to do with prince charlie and thats one reason we are hated

[@DogPatchProductionz]

In 2005 a study by Professor of Human Genetics Bryan Sykes of Oxford led him to the conclusion that Somerled has possibly 500,000 living descendants-making him the second most common currently-known ancestor after Genghis Khan. to be more specific for you look up my familys history because if it started with him and hes the second most common currently known accestor your family aint even close to as big

[@tingyichew648]

Dusty Sweeper what's the guy's name who signed the William's treaty, is it Alasdair Maclain? 1:37.

[@dustysweeper]

Depends on what clan your great great gran was from. Not all MacDonalds are related

[@dustysweeper]

I am from MacDonald of clanrannold of benbecula. a plesure to meet a felow MacDonald

[@nixaman]

Great historical story, descendant of Clan Campbell, yes I'm a yank, yes I've set foot in Scotland, I'm a huge fan of the Islay malts, Highland malts will do as well,

[@eoghannbeag]

It was Thomas Babington ay who started the myth that Glencoe means the 'Glen of Weeping' (2:33). The valley is thought to take its name from the River Cona which flows through it.

[@Hippydon94]

im a Campbell from the mull of kyntire and i have to say there was only one campbell there the rest were other clans and other macdonalds. The Campbells are the largest clan in scotland and the strongest and most succesful in battle. we are tru highlanders.

[@McMoidart]

LOL How'd you go when the Maccolla came to Inverlochy

[@exizzz]

@dustysweeper 1/4 MacDonalds are related to Somerled, Somerled being the grandfather of Dòmhnall Dubh. Somerled has the 2nd most descendants in the world! 1st being Mahatma Gandhi (the statistics aren't fact though obviously as I am a MacDonald and have not sent my DNA away to be tested as of yet and I am sure there are thousands of others like me)

[@McMoidart]

Sorry exizzz Mahatma Gandhi must have been busy to have more than 500,000 descendants in a century!!!!!!! The name you're looking for is Genghis Khan.

[@ulrich2007]

i am a macDonald from skye nice to meet u 2

[@shanecanpbell361]

I am a direct descendant from the Campbell Clan and regardless of the facts,still proud of my decent and heritage,many people comment on a lot of topics that they really haven't got the proper rights or knowledge to argue it.The fact is it was a dark day in history as many others at the time lets not forget the times that it was,the fact is ( it was what it was ) ...

[@dustysweeper]

Absolutely correct, far too many folks make ill informed and just plain bigoted comments on subjects they have no clue about, it just shows their ignorance. Nowt wrong with showing pride in who you are and where you come from.

[@shanecanpbell361]

thanks very much dusty on your consideration on the comment :)

[@eoghannbeag]

Thomas Babington Macaulay even ....

[@Communistbaconeater]

My clan was also from glencoe.

[@exizzz]

@dustysweeper to right

[@PILLOCKHEAD]

HEAR HEAR

[@DogPatchProductionz]

@residentevil4roks the macdonalds are one of the largest and most famous clans from scotland and i am a macdonald of glencoe im not from there but thats what my clan is and i have to say if you think the campbells are bigger then the macdonalds your saddly mistaken did you know my family started with somerled and other then ghenkis khan he has the most reletives ever its believed he has over 500,000 thousand decendants alive today like i said only ghenkis khan has more so hows your family bigger
