血的历史：1689年英国国王詹姆士七世把国教改为天主教,引起非常大的反弹,被来自荷兰的侄子William of Orange夺去王位.
The MacDonalds of Glencoe和The Campbells of Glenorchy是邻居也是世仇.The Campbells of Glenorchy因为支持William of Orange而得势,1692 年MacDonalds家族被迫表态臣服於新的政权.MacDonalds的首领MacIain在最後一刻不得已前往表示臣服,虽然期限已经超过,但仍然被接受.
因次,当Campbell家族的军队来Glencoe驻扎时,MacDonalds家族不但没有怀疑他们的用心,还很热情地接待.没想到Campbell家族的军队竟然展开了一场大屠杀,MacIain一家人也惨死.这就是苏格兰历史上著名的格兰克大屠杀Massacre of Glencoe.

莫拉．可儿(moira kerr)是英国非主流音乐的首席女歌手,她的歌极富苏格兰风情,毫不娇柔造作,极易错过却极为耐听.这首歌曲是莫拉可儿为一部描述这段历史的影片「Eagles Eyes View」所做的配乐.莫拉在专辑的内页中写到她在苏格兰Glencoe散步时,看到了MacIain的墓,这段歌词突然涌上心头,於是她就写下了这首歌,也写下了凯尔特人心中永远的痛.

maciain of glencoe

Yet still my lonely spirit soars, amid the mountains and the glenFrom my ancestral burial ground, I am MacIain .The name MacDonald echoes still, within the hearts of highland men.My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain. I am MacIain.
The royal stag stands proudly on the hill.Falling prey to man his mortal foe.Some men know nought of dignity or pride.And strike with no respect their deadly blow.
Yet still my lonely spirit soars, amid the mountains and the glen.From my ancestral burial ground, I am MacIainThe name MacDonald echoes still, within the hearts of highland men.My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain.
The east is flanked by Buachaile Etive Mhor.At south the highest Bidian is here.
Of treachery no warning will they give.But from Signal Rock betrayal sounded clear.
Yet still my lonely spirit soars, amid the mountains and the glen.From my ancestral burial ground, I am MacIain.The name MacDonald echoes still, within the hearts of highland men.My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain.
Yet still my lonely spirit soars, amid the mountains and the glen.From my ancestral burial ground, I am MacIain.The name MacDonald echoes still, within the hearts of highland men.My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain.My restless soul will never sleep, I am MacIain.I am MacIain.
