The Glen Coe Massacre occurred in February 1692 in the Scottish Highlands. It involved the killing of members of the MacDonald clan by soldiers loyal to the British government. The massacre was part of a larger conflict between the Scottish clans and the government, which sought to enforce loyalty to the crown. The event took place over several days, with around 38 MacDonalds killed and many others forced to flee into the harsh winter landscape. The massacre is often viewed as a betrayal, as the MacDonalds had offered hospitality to the soldiers before the attack. It remains a significant event in Scottish history.
