The Highlands of Scotland have been well known for their wars and betrayals and it is definitely accurate that from the reign of James IV in the 1490′s existence in the Highlands was somewhat tumultuous. In 1493, James went against the strong chiefs of the MacDonald Clan and forfeited the MacDonald Lord of the Isles in favour of himself and the Campbell Clan. Thus the Campbell’s took over as powerhouse at this time at the expense of the MacDonalds.

Issues came about not merely with the MacDonalds but also with several other Scottish clans because of this unhealthy power divide that the Campbells held over everyone else. The Campbell were in such a position that they could buy up readily available land and charge a kind of rent upon anybody who wanted to utilize the area for cows or sheep. The MacLeans were especially aggrieved Clan. As a sidenote here, the word Clan originates from the Gaelic word “clann” which actually signifies “children”.

It would seem to be this could mean that any member inside a clan were closely associated however this was not necessarily the case. Only the higher echelons of a specific clan were linked to the chiefs. Everyone else merely considered the chief as the leader instead of as a relative as such.  Read more...
