No doubt if we dig around Clan McDonald has historical indignities they have carried out against others and suffered worse.

As already said by one poster, reading Prebble's history is a good start.
This seems like an unnecessary slight. If you are not aware, the constant jabs between Clan Donald and Clan Campbell nowadays are somewhat of a joke on both sides. It's true that anyone who would hold a true grudge towards others just because of their last name should learn more about the history, but to say that worse things have happened by the hands of Clan Donald with no actual historical proof is unfounded. This is about a well documented tragedy, not just about who is at fault. Members of Clan Donald don't curse the Campbell name at Glencoe memorials, they just give remembrance.
