    I read this in another post. Not sure what to say about it. I attribute the inaccuracies to the lack of research by many reporters, and perhaps the tone to trying to manufacture a story. However Jock Scot's "neighbour" expressed some similar feelings to some of what was written. Some of the atrocities committed by the English and indeed the Scots themselves to the Highlanders are well documented and part of both Scotland's history and that of Canada, USA, Australia and NZ.
