Guardians to Gallows Herd: MacIain and the MacDonalds of Glen Coe

Who were the Glen Coe MacDonalds? Why were they called 'MacIain' and what did they do to inspire such hatred among Lowlanders?

The narrative is very similar to John Prebble's Glencoe which I happen to be reading at the moment.

Interestingly, the Halo music you play in your videos was produced by an American by the name of Martin O'Donnell. The O'Donnell clan were amongst the most heralded of all the Gaels of Ireland, with their territory Tír Connail (now known in English as Co. Donegal) going back as far as to the 6th or 7th century. The antiquity for their lineage was so well respected that upon exile in Spain, they were welcomed with open arms and would climb very high up the ladder. 19th century Spanish Prime Minister Leopoldo O'Donnell is a fine example - his ancestors were forced out in the 17th century.

So perhaps your music is a lot more relevant than one might first assume :)
