Are Campbells STILL not welcome in some parts of Scotland??

[MACKAY]

..... nor the massacre of Glencoe were ordered and executed by Campbells exclusively. For the former, it was a British Army force, led by the Duke (Butcher) Cumberland, and for the latter, while there was a Campbell in command at Glencoe, Robert Campbell of Glenlyon, his force was made up of soldiers, not Campbell clansmen per se.

Thanks again Todd for clearing up what has become an accepted myth, that the "CLAN" Campbell was responsible for Glencoe. The responsible party was and always will be the man who ordered the deed and put his signature on the warrant.... and he was sitting on his throne in London. Robert Campbell was a pawn in a much bigger game.

Erin ... if surnames had any real impact on how you are accepted, or not accepted, in Scotland (which they do not), then you better reconsider your choice to use "Stuart". You see, the Clans were split pretty evenly between the loyalist and the Jacobites in '45, you would have to assume that you would run into just as many people who would not appreciate you being a "Stuart", as much as you would find those who welcomed you as a "Stuart".

IMHO, Just like the USA, it is my experience that hard cash money will be welcomed and gladly taken at any pub, restaurant or establishment that is open to the public, regardless of your name. Besides, have you ever known a Scot to turn down a potential for profit :-)

Have a great trip!!!!

Aye, Brian. If anyone deserves the blame, it is the Earl of Stair, John Dalrymple, Secretary of State for Scotland.
