[@RubioNegroZaravia]

The Glencoe massacre (and the MacDonald/Campbell feud) was referenced in the show "Mad Men". Pete Campbell tries to get his daughter into a private school where the headmaster is a MacDonald. The headmaster politely refuses to accept her, and when pressed to give his reasons, he starts raving about how Campbells aren't to be trusted. Funnily enough, Glencoe itself isn't mentioned by name, but both men, Americans in the 1960s, know exactly what issue is being discussed. Pete's wife, meanwhile, stares on in bewilderment as she has no idea what's going on.

I am Australian descended from clan MacDonald, of Australian-born parents. Three anecdotes illustrate the bad blood. 1. In 1960, my father worked in northern Nigeria, and met a MacGregor. "Oh and there's another Scot in town" said my father "Jock Campbell". MacGregor's look soured and he said suspiciously "They fought against us in the '45." That's SEVENTEEN-forty-five. 2. In 1980 I lived next door to a Campbell and visited him in hospital. "You know you're not a bad bloke" he said, "for a MacDonald." 3. In 1987 I visited Scotland and near Glencoe the sign on the pub door read: "No dogs or Campbells".

I have watched most of your videos and this is one on your best.

I also admire your valiant attempts at Scots Gaelic pronunciation. I was a bit disappointed that you did not bring in the Dutch flag and national anthem upon the mention of William of Orange (only joking). A possible area for you to do another video is on the Norse-Gaels (from whom the McDonalds descended). They were the people who evolved into many Scottish clans and took control of many areas of Scotland. The Norse-Gaels also (in terms of DNA at least) also settled the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Could it be argued that the fact that the Icelanders, uniquely in Scandinavia, produced a vast literary record of their culture because of their Gaelic literary heritage?

Somerled, the great grandfather of the first macdonald, had a Gaelic father (given his surname) and a norse mother (given his first name). To my knowledge he married Ranghilde Olafsdottir, the daughter of Olaf the red, who was the norse King of the Isles. His son, Ranald MacSomhairle had a son Donald MacRanald, whose son in turn would be the first macdonald. Hope this helps!

[@Roikat]

@@grubbybum3614 Because Norwegian Vikings dominated the Irish Sea in the 9th and 10th centuries, and left many Norse Gael descendants in the region. The name Domhnall mac Raghnaill is possibly indicative of descent from the Viking lord Ragnall ua Imair, who was called "Lord of the Irish Sea".

The information that the MacDonalds were supposed to receive was deliberately delayed.

[@TradRaider]

It is true. In fact they massacred them because it they felt like it

[@terrykeever9422]

There were late taxes involved also. Not the only clan who were late paying but an example was made. Scotland History Tours has a video that goes into more specifics of Glencoe. Some of the clan my surname is a sept of was also among other clans with the Campbells. I hope none were my ancestors. There are other videos with different details. One said a woman was stripped and sent into the snow to die a day later of exposure. Evil reigned that night. Many say 70 were killed.

[@dotWayton]

Further Context: The clan Cheif of Macdonald at the time left for a fort which happened to not have a magistrate so he was unable to sware fealty to the recent new King, from they had to travel further south to another fort which cause the delay past the deadline. They were made an example of all though numerous clans were late aswell.

I was at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games one year, and there were many of us gathered around the fire having a good time, when a young man came up and joined us. Someone asked him about his tartan, and when he said "Campbell", everybody went dead quiet. After an awkward few seconds that felt like hours, he turned and walked away.

[@wednesdaynightbusiness6296]

If they descend from the Strathclyde Britons, is it possible that the Campbell's name might refer to the fact that early 'proto-Campbells' spoke a Britonnic language as opposed to the Gaelic that their contemporaries largely spoke? Or was the name applied after the death of the old language?
