Glencoe massacre As part of the pacification of the Highlands after the collapse of the Jacobite rising of 1689–90 a royal order required all clan chieftains to take an oath of allegiance to William and Mary. The chief of the Macdonalds of Glencoe, near Fort William, did so, but only after the time limit of 1 January. The Scottish secretary, Sir John
Dalrymple, used his lateness as a pretext to send a force to Glencoe to exact submission. The officers and men of this force were Campbells, hereditary enemies of the Macdonalds. After being given traditional Highland hospitality, on 13 February 1692 the soldiers massacred some 40 of their hosts, and many of those who escaped perished in winter storms.
