Only if the fairy story of MacDonald v's Campbell is given credit or believed. It was a Government Militia massacring a small sept of Clan MacDonald. The greater parts of Clan MacDonald didn't come to their aid after the late oath of loyalty - but the Argyll Campbell chief did call for leniency. The Campbell who commanded the Militia was from the Perthshire branch who were Jacobites in 1745. > It's been discussed at length ad nauseam over centuries by far better > people > than you. |
