Na obliviscaris / Troimh

Inspired by last nights viewing of Monarch of the Glen (S5 E9), I’ve dug up some history on my family, the Campbell clan (my grandmother) and the Hamilton clan (my grandfather) and our sworn enemies!

Scotland is divided into two areas, the Highlands and the Lowlands. The Campbell clan is of the largest of the Highland clans, and the Hamilton clan is the most important of the Lowland clans. (Mof theG centres on the
MacDonald clan) The Campbells are still remembered for the massacre of 38 MacDonalds in Glencoe on 12 February 1692, in an act of treachery. (Chris is a MacLean) The MacLeans were united with their Campbell in-laws in a mutual dislike of the MacDonald clan, one of the most powerful families in the Western Isles.

Do Not Forget (Campbell motto)/ Through (Hamilton motto)
