My uncle had a friend who was a tradesman, in the 1980s he told my Uncle in a bar in Inverness, that whilst installing electric lights, he saw a man, dressed in period highland dress walk across the floor of the ballroom and disappear through the opposite wall, he said he was solid as a real person, but looked filthy and wet. My uncles friend, despite what some people say, was absolutely terrified, and would not work there alone whilst the job was ongoing.

Your mention of the "lone piper" reminded me of a story my old flatmate came back with. He was somewhere in the Highlands, staying in a remote bothy for a couple of days. On the first evening he walked down to watch the sunset over the loch. After a while he heard the spooky sound of a lone piper... Certain he had heard a ghostly lament without getting spooked, he went to his bed. The next night, he decided to walk the few kms to the closest pub. All the locals are around the bar having a good blether. John was (of course) welcomed & joined in. At some point, he told of his spooky encounter by the loch. "Och, that'll 've bin oor Angus.", one of the wee wifeys in the bar said. "He aye gaes doon tae the loch tae practice his pipes. Tis tae damn noisy in t'hoose!" 😆

Before I knew the story of the massacre I climbed up a bit from the roadside to take in the view of the glen. I was on my own and visiting from Australia. I felt an incredible sense of peace but also profound sadness as I sat there. When I started to walk back down maybe an hour later, I heard bagpipes. They weren’t loud but the sound was sort of carried on the wind and almost floated around me. It was subtle but there was no mistaking it. I was the only person there and the only car parked on the roadside. I now know for sure I wasn’t dreaming. What a gift and a blessing to hear the piper 🙏🏽✨🙏🏽

I know someone who, decades ago, had an experience in Glencoe while camping overnight with friends. A fierce storm with lashing rain and strong winds developed overnight forcing them to abandon their tents and run back to the spot where they had parked their van. Throughout this though, they could hear screams, shouts and the clash of something metallic (swords maybe?) They couldn't see anyone but they could hear what sounded like people rushing towards them and described feeling something akin to an electric feeling whenever they heard and felt the 'people' running past them Apparently, the entire group had the experience, not just one individual. Also, the van's headlights turned on of their own accord during this incident. Unsure if the place they had chosen to camp happened to be near the site of the massacre but it was definitely in Glencoe. I've often wondered if they experienced the massacre itself, its aftermath or some other conflict?

The Moor is one of my favourite places, love it. I often think about how many people must have lost their lives there.

I'm from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Our area is populated by the descendants of Highland Scots who have preserved a great deal of the culture here because it was a more isolated area back in the day. I'm descended from the Clanranald MacDonalds as are many local people here. My direct ancestor -- Donald Ban MacDonald was at Culloden as a lad and survived of course. His family came to Nova Scotia in 1790. Another ancestor was a MacDonald woman from Glencoe. I live in Inverness County and there is a rural area nearby named Glencoe -- full of MacDonalds. I've been to Culloden and Glencoe several times and planning a trip with family this year again. My grandmother who had Gaelic as her first language could recite her family tree -- almost all MacDonald -- and she could state in Gaelic --referring to the massacre of Glencoe -- 'as long as there's green in the forest, there's a crook in the Campbells'. The betrayal of 1692 was not forgotten on this side of the Atlantic!

Omg... the piper.... you mensioned the piper!! When i was a child, before i even knew about the massacre of the Mcdonalds, we were camping out in glencoe, just me, my sister, and our dad. It was a warm February that year, and we stayed in a really beautiful area with a stream close by. I still remember the sound it made as it flowed beside our tent. On our second night, I was woken up to the call of nature, and I unzipped my tent. I was suddenly very afraid because it was pitch black outside. The dark never really bothered me as a kid, but there was something about the eery quiet that came with it that really disturbed me. I shot out with my torch and quickly found a spot. I remember I started hearing bagpipes, it was soft like an echo as it it was far away but close by at the same time. My first thought was that some people camping nearby us was having a small ceilidh. But there was something about these bagpipes that sounded very off. Like I was listening to an echo bent through time. It was tired, and the song had no structure or repeated rhythm. It was very, very haunting. I finished my business and hurried back to my tent, and that was when I saw it. The spectre of a piper playing invisible pipes. He floated down the stream like he was standing on an invisible boat. Behind him, there were more spectres in line. They were wearing shredded kilts and bonnets. Theyre faces where sarrow, gaunt and expressionless. I was frozen to the spot. I just remember dropping my flashlight. They floated down the stream and eventually faded into the night. The word "betrayed" whipered behind them over and over again. I ran for my dads tent, and I was so afraid at what I saw. My dad came out, and I told him what I just saw. He took me into his tent and held me until I calmed down. I remember the next morning, dad asked me to repeat everything I saw. I told him about the piper and the procession of men behind him, and I described how they looked to every detail I could remember. About their shredded dirty kilts, the large buckles around their bodies and thick coats. They were tall and robust, with their bonnets and whispy hair. And the word "betrayed" whispered on the wind, repeated over and over again. Dad went white. His mother was born in Inverness, and her maiden name was Mcdonald. Dad told me the story about the massacre from the clan Campbell, and what I saw was their probably the ghosts of the Mcdonald clan, haunting their former land. That memory has stayed with me all my life. I've never seen a ghost since. But i will never forget the haunting feeling I felt that night. And never do I want to encounter another ghost again for as long as i live!!!

Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe and covers the grave O'Donald, and cruel was the foe that r@ped Glencoe and murdered the house of MacDonald. Brilliant song by the corries. Thanks for this vid xx

A night of betrayal and horrors as that of Glencoe... and why would some these souls not still be there? I'm not even Scottish, never been at the site and still the story touched me deeply when I first heard it and still does so today, decades later. Thank you for your videos, you're doing a wonderful job narrating and presenting the stories.... of course, the Scottish voice is a special treat. 🙋🏻‍♀All the best to everyone involved in the making of the videos as well as to everyone watching and listening.

As I see it, being a Swede and living in Scotland (22 years and counting), I'm lucky having the best of this world, Scandinavian and Scottish.... I've visited Glencoe once, the weather was perfect, no clear blue skies or anything like that, but low clouds, misty, cold, a wee bit of wind....the thought of it still gives me the chills! When my number is up, bury my heart in Scotland and my bones in Sweden.... Excellent video again....👍🏻👌🏼👏🏻

I know exactly what you mean. I'm an Australian who moved to the UK in 1997. After 9 very unhappy months in England, I moved to Glasgow, where I had a couple friends. As I crossed the border & the road swung left, I caught the sunset through the Border Hills. It felt like Scotland was reaching out to say "Welcome, daughter". I moved into a flat with two people I'd never met, who immediately pulled me into their groups of friends. So I too have two homes. There is a wonderful song by Vicka & Linda Bull "Between two Shores" that sums it up well. Outside of Glasgow, Glencoe is my favourite place in Scotland. Although I currently live in Germany, whenever I visit home, I feel happier just breathing the air. I love Australia & miss my family & friends there, but I long for Scotland. So bury my heart there too.

I am proud to be from Scottish ancestors. Tough as nails the Scots are and I still don't back down. So much history and death and war but it had to be done. Thanx for a wonderful video.❤😊❤😊

When I knew I was going to join with friends for a driving tour of Scotland, one of my goals was to visit Glencoe, having heard the song prior. When my one friend decided to join me, instead of going with the others in the group who took the boat tour of Loch Ness, it was a drizzly day. As we walked the trail from the visitors center to the memorial of destroyed homes, it suddenly stopped drizzling as we neared the broken walls. Also, to my amazement, as we turned to go back to the visitor's center, we were suddenly aware that the main road was not far off, yet we heard no sounds of cars while standing at the destruction. Also, as soon as we returned to the trail, it started to drizzle again. Eerie, but not threatening. It was almost as if we had been protected, & cocooned. As we reached the main road, I had my friend stop the car, & I turned around and snapped a photo, which I had enlarged & framed. It now graces my front hallway. My own tribute to the peace that now surrounds that tragedy.

One of my school friends ( since passed ) used to pitch a tent in the summertime, deep into Glencoe every year and camp there a couple of days. He told me you could almost hear screams coming from the area. Even just driving along the road through Glencoe its very atmospheric and has always had an eerie feel to it esp., if you park up anywhere and step out your car. Glencoe is a very sad part of Scotland which you can feel in the air.

I climbed up into the Great Glen at GlenCoe on my first visit to Scotland. There was absolute silence, not a bird sang, the mist was rolling down the side of the mountains and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up. There are ghosts up there for sure !

Even here in Aotearoa New Zealand, I have met McDonalds who won't shake the hand of a Campbell.

7:19 "The moon loomed high ..." and was strangely rotated, showing a pattern never seen from Scotland. When you use an image of the moon, try to find one taken from earth, not from an Apollo spacecraft -- which is exactly what you did this time. You have the Sea of Crisis right in the middle, instead of on the limb, which is how it appears from earth.

Certainly like the illustrations. "They came from Fort William with murther in mind, the Campbell had orders Dutch Billy had signed......" I used to have a friend named Darroch, who came from up Skye way. She told me of an old Highland saying - "Wherever ye find dirty English government money - there ye'll always find a bloody Campbell......" Old memories live long.

I've never heard that saying or that version of the song! My grandmothers side are MacDonalds and she shared the same sentiment.

More likely, one of the soldiers had too much cognac and let something slip.

There is a whispering stone in Glencoe and a Campbell soldier who felt guilty about breaking Highland hospitality told what they had been ordered to do and some of the MacDonald clan members heard and warned the Chieftain and some of the MacDonald clan members were prepared for the attack on the 13th of February 1662 ,this Campbell soldier saved some Macdonals from dying that night . That's how so many clansmen were saved as they hid in caves in the hills .

i thought cognac was booze lol.

I feel its important to tell some of the history so people understand the hauntings and the possible reasons for them. The stories of the hauntings are there. Thanks for the feed back though, taken on board 👍🏻

I gave up half way through, too much repetitive comments "left a scar on the___ and political expediency-another variation on one of those phrases I'd have started screaming 'get on with it'
