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.
