Anything like this ever happen to you?

Gentlemen of Campbell descent have even married ladies of MacDonald descent, the two clans have co-existed peacefully in my household for over 28 years.

You really need to read the historical accounts of the Massacre at Glencoe to understand all of the facts. The government troops were commanded by a Campbell of Glenlyon and were ordered by the King to kill the MacDonalds.

As Mike notes the blame for the Lamont Massacre lies on the shoulders on the Duke of Argyll, he was beheaded for the deed 16 years later. The Lamont Massacre has never achieved the historical notoriety that Glencoe has.

It is best to let bygones be bygones, we live in a much more civilized world now.
