Glencoe Massacre vs Lady of Glencoe

The picture above is of me and others climbing mountains in Glencoe. I was 20 years old.

My Dad told me that his Mum was a MacDonald. I can’t verify this. The fees for Ancestry.co.uk are astronomical.

Anyhoo. Campbells massacred Clan Gregor AND Clan Donald.

Do I have a Highlander Problem?

No Shit, Sherlock.

And yes. I bought MY title Lady of Glencoe many years ago. Not to pretend to be a LADY (I’m not) but because the land in Glencoe that I now own…all one foot square of it…has had a tree planted via my donation.

Fact. MacFact :o)
