'mort Ghlinne Comhann'

A number of centuries ago
In 1692, in a place called Glencoe
      Where a massacre took place
      And the Clan Campbell lost face
When neighbours were sometimes your foe

This reminds me of the states' Civil War, James. It pitted neighbor against neighbor, even families were divided. You know I'm a big fan of your historical writes! Love, Carolyn
