Captured at Trumpan Church, Waternish Peninsula on the Isle of Skye. The church was destroyed in 1578 when the MacDonalds of Uist arrived by boat and landed under cover of fog. Finding their enemies the MacLeods at church they barred the doors and set fire to the church killing everyone inside. the alarm was raised and the invading MacDonalds were killed in the 'Battle of the Spoiling Dyke', - reference to the way the bodies of the MacDonalds were thrown into the dyke , their bodies deemed unfit for a proper burial I have added a song by Scottish band Runrig called The Greatest Flame www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKqUuZmLmeQ and a second Runrig song here Protect and Survive www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-EBXxdni7U Best viewed large I think. Thankyou. HWW
