I'm working on one I call "Glencoe Massacre" - it's working title was "Bloody C@mpbell". After it's registered, I'll post the link.

OK C@mpbells - don't go and get bent out of shape!

Repeat after me: "The Campbells, as a clan, were not responsible for Glencoe."

To be correct, you should call it "Bloody Dalrymple".

Actually, maybe "Bloody William and Mary", becasue the original idea to use military force on one or more of the rebellious highland clans (to make them an example of what happens to those who don't swear fealty to the crown) was actually their decree and the action condoned by them even afterwards, although history seems to have let them off (pardon the pun) Scot free.

I like the top one a lot. I would wear it, and I think it would look fine on a lady. Spring/summer colours.

If you are trying to reflect the north/south schism, though, I think you should select a darker blue. But if you are placing more importance on appearance than on symbolism, I think what you have is good.

The Earl of Stair, John Dalrymple actually gave the order to Campbell of Glenlyon for his force of soldiers (only about a dozen of whome were Campbell clansmen) to carry it out. William offered a pardon to all clans who had been "out" before 1 January 1692, but Dalrymple and the Earl of Breadalbane actually came up with the plans to make am example of MacIan of Glencoe.

This is an interesting idea but I am not sure who would wear it. I don't think the Campbell clan would and I am fairly sure that the MacDonalds would not.

I don't think I would want to explain to The Campbell or MacDonald Clan Chief or any of their clan members what it was.

I guess the big question would be why a design based on that event? Who would be honored?
