Living in the Glen of Sorrow: an archaeology of life before and after the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe
October 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Sponsored by: Archaeology Scotland
This talk will explore the archaeology of Glencoe, among Scotland’s most famous and iconic glens, home to the MacDonald clan and setting for the Glencoe Massacre of 1692. Based on archaeological fieldwork by researchers from the National Trust for Scotland, University of Glasgow and Archaeology Scotland at settlement sites dating to the 17th and 18th centuries we will explore the lives of those who called Glencoe home in this period, the events of the Glencoe massacre and the material remains this tragic event left behind, and how people returned to this landscape to live again along the waters of Coe.
This will be a journey through everyday artefacts and moments which defined the fate of a country.
Dr Edward C Stewart, Archaeology Scotland
