Robert MacDonald

“The Gallows Herd” or “Trouble With The Neighbours” A fresh look at the Glencoe genocide.

A ScotFestBC favourite returns to ScotFestBC with another great presentation.

Robert MacDonald, Kiltmaker, Historian and Antiquary is a descendant of a survivor of the Massacre of Glencoe – but he was also once a soldier who would rather conduct a raid or an ambush than eat his dinner – and it is from that perspective that he will examine the reasons for, conduct of and the consequences of that night of February 13, 1692 for British, European and World politics.
