Magnus Linklater is THE arch Unionist, so it's no wonder he takes the (whig) Cambell's side on this matter. Shortly after this massacre the same Campbell's lined up with the Hanoverian 'butcher' Cumberland's Redcoats against the Highland Clansmen at Culloden.

@scotswahhae1984 ...and what the Scots did to the Irish, the American Indians, the India Indians, the Burmese, the Chinese.... and so on... any where where the British emprie extended. Few countries are free from past attrocities.
I'm a Kooistra and I have nothing to do with these people.
