Production is underway on the next full series of Love Scotland, but in the meantime, we’re diving into the archives to highlight five of the top episodes of all time.
This week, we’re returning to two episodes that – when combined – offer a full look at the Massacre of Glencoe. Some 332 years ago this week, around 30 members of Clan MacDonald were killed by Scottish government forces, many while they slept.
This tragic and bloodthirsty event was significant in Jacobean history and has had a long-lasting legacy.
To find out more, Jackie is joined by Derek Alexander, NTS Head of Archaeology, and Scott McCombie, senior ranger. To find out more about Glencoe, click here.
Next week, we revisit another dark chapter in Scottish history: the witch trials.
New episodes of Love Scotland will return later in 2024.
