"It is almost certain that if Highland-hating Lowlanders like the Cameronians had been used, the result would have been much more dreadful ...". (Raymond Campbell Paterson; Glencoe - Myth and Reality (Electric Scotland)). That was also the story passed down to me in Glencoe.

Wish I had the gaelic to read Alasdair MacAonghais story, steaphris! Reached dustysweeper's excellent posts through the Corries singing Maclean song written 1963, apparently.
Many, many thanks dustysweeper, for these posts! Totally enthralled here on snowy morning in Rocky Mountains

It was yes.

Which songs and stories? What do they tell?
I'm just saying I read a story by Alasdair MacAonghais, a native Gaelic speaker born and bred in Glencoe, and the survivors escaped "through the snow". The story is in Gaelic.

the only thing that can be taken positivly out of Glencoe, was that a least there were some soldiers who warned some of the people and other who did rfuse to take part. However this was an awful stain on our history

No one actually knows the full horror of what happened that night and the following days and weeks.
Imagine waking up hearing the screams of children being slaughtered and women being raped.
It wasn't just a massacre they were tortured, raped and butchered.
Shame on the people who ordered it and shame on those who carried it out.

The survivers did indeed escape in the snow also the solders were held backby the cripling wind and the fields of thistles the clan fled through.
As for a song the most famous one is by the The Corries - titled Massacre Of Glencoe im surprised you dont know it

Another thing, the glen was under heavy snow at the time, from what I recall.
