See also "Glencoe and the End of the Highland War" by Paul Hopkins, John Donald Publishers, Edinburgh, 1998, ISBN 0 85976 490 7, for a 540 page book which sets this event in the full context of Scottish history.
Publisher's blurb..........
"Paul Hopkins, an authority on early Jacobitism, for the first time sets the Massacre in its true context. The book describes the tensions in the Highlands between the Restoration and the Revolution and the influence on the Highlands of national politics.
Besides filling a blank in our knowledge of the Highlands in the decade following the Massacre, the book transforms our perspective on Lowland politics by showing that the Inquiry was part of a secret patriotic campaign to break the aristocracy's political stranglehold and increase the Scottish parlaiment's powers."
