Knives In the Dark: Engineering the Glen Coe Massacre | FULL DOCUMENTARY [1 OF 2]

On the morning of February 13 1692, one of the most infamous of Scotland’s numerous atrocities occurred in Glen Coe; one that began the darkest chapter in the long history of the Ghàidhealtachd.
How was it possible for such shameless slaughter to occur in a society based on community, solidarity and hospitality? How were narcissistic hatemongers in Edinburgh able to plan and enact such a naked attempt at genocide?
In this feature-length documentary, we investigate the buildup to the Massacre in detail and assess the involvement and culpability of the key figures in the story.
It’s time to maul the mythology and extirpate the apocrypha as we expose the true butchers of Glen Coe.

These historical Scottish documentaries are the most detailed and accurate videos, I have watched on the web. Great job, I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos. Daibhidh Mac Dhomhnuill

Many thanks, I’m glad you’re enjoying them! Thank you for watching. 👍

[@Monaginagin]

These videos are very well done, brilliant detail and commentary. Are you going to do more? Well done mate.

[@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios]

Thanks man! Yes Inglorious Revolutions II: Act of Union is coming tomorrow! 🙂

[@Monaginagin]

@@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios excellent, will check it out! Would be good if you were able to do other periods as well.. very few channels on here deliver Scottish history as well!

[@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios]

That’s the plan…

there is no way i would like to have lived in those days

[@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios]

It certainly wouldn’t have been easy!

[@raymondmcdonald355]

Love these videos. There were slippery, cowardly rogues in all sides of this story. They would have sold their grannies for a tanner.

[@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios]

Yup! Thanks mate!

I REALLY like your historical videos, for their detail and depth. Since i subscribed I've found I enjoy watching your hiking and climbing content too. But im having a tough time figuring out how your playlists and videos are organized. Sometimes you mention titles of prior videos (or podcast episodes?) that i can't find. Are some of them sort of just chapters in the Munro hiking videos that relate to the Munro you're on? Or do you post more often on a different platform? I'd really like to see/hear all your historical content in order. I come across mentions the Jacobite conflicts in all sorts of other contexts, like Caribbean piracy and even modern politics, and I sort of know it was from Scotland, but I've never found one place that really concentrates on it and explains it as well as you do.

Hi, thanks! These are all the history films in order: kzbin.info/aero/PLHciVjPIfhPpxYI8PJAm-CrfsxnN8tGrp

I've heard to this day at Clan Gatherings here in CALIFORNIA "Never trust a Campbell".

[@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios]

I mean, it may have been a fair rule of thumb back in the day, but I think it's probably best consigned to history. There's enough division in the world without perpetuating arcane, irrelevant prejudices.

​​@@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios It was so shudderingly bad that, although I only knew a little, the passage through the Glen behind steel and glass was unsettling. Some things are better not spoken about in the presence of children, lest they hear the dispassionate story and it becomes engrained for life. And yet treachery remains among us.

Absolutely outstanding viewing 👏👏👏
