My great grand father was born in Glencoe, he was a Highlander who spoke Gaelic , his surname was Bryce , the Mcgegors also used the name Bryce, the Bryces became a sept of Clan Macfarlane.
I always find it ironic that a lot of highland clans(including my own)were jacobites when the stuart royalty were doing their best to destroy the whole way of life.
Surely that would work to their advantage though, fugitives have always used a pseudonym. “What’s your name!?”, “Fergus MacNeill”, “ ah right, very well” 😀
The MacFarlaine's stole Colquoun's wrought iron gates, when Colquhoun asked the MacFarlaine's for his gates back, their reply was "If you want them, come and get them", he never did go to retrieve his gates so they remained in the posession of the MacFarlaine's.
Humza Yousaf was born in Rutherglen, you Muppet ! The people (in Scotland) haven't voted for the last five UK Prime Ministers ... if it hadn't escaped your notice, but we're still lumbered with them.
For the same reason that many Scottish tombstones were written in Latin, Gaelic, French and Scots. It was a multilingual society, amongst the aristocracy. There are four different words for waterfall in the area as well - Fall (English), Eas (Gaelic), Linn (French) and Loup (Scots).
It was because of the proscription against Clan Gregor that Conor McGregor's ancestors relocated from Scotland to Ireland. My ancestors moved to Speyside in 1690 to make illicit whisky.
Thanks for watching! Please let me know your thoughts below...
Naargh, I reckon the MacGregors were just pissed off about the price of an ice cream in the Luss giftshop.
VERY INFORMATIVE SIR.

The British didn't capture Jamaica until 1655.

Being a descendant of clan MacFarlane I know what side they were on. LOL

Just when you thought Scottish history couldn't get any more bloody.
Look at the Massacre of Glencoe. Was even worse than Glen Fruin, in my opinion
scotland has a much bigger history than what i anticipated!
Now Scotland has a migrant first minster who the people never voted for
