DAME FLORA MACLEOD’S VISIT
Sir, —Evidently “M.J.” has either missed, or misunderstood, the salient point I made. I am not concerned with the very questionable and unenviable part played by the Clan MacLeod in Scottish history, nor about whether the sassenachs knew little beyond “denigratory rumours” as to who fought with them through the long night of Culloden; but I am concerned with the distortion of history as exemplified in the singing of the “Skye Boat Song” to any MacLeod. Forgive we may, but forget we cannot, while a granite stone marks the spot of the massacre of Glencoe, an outrage which for'Sheer brutality has few parallels in history.—Yours, etc., • GLENCOE. December 14, 1954.
