Note 1 — Chapter XIII · THE HONOUR OF THE McNIELS.
Reading edition
A stalwart Highlander who led his clan against the English in the bitter struggles of those times, until he and his followers were completely routed, those who were not killed defending their homes and loved ones, perishing in the mountains of hunger and cold. To this day the wild, gloomy Pass of Glencoe, where this tragedy took place, is fittingly known in the Gaelic tongue as the “Glen of Weeping.” Among the few who escaped were Robert MacDonald, the youngest son of the chief, and his young wife.
