| Summary | "The Celtic Magazine, Vol. I, No. VI, April 1876" by Various is a historical periodical published in the mid-19th century. This volume continues several stories and articles focusing on Scottish history, culture, and folklore, including significant historical events such as the massacre at Glencoe. The content likely appeals to readers interested in the traditions and narratives of the Scottish Highlands as well as the region's cultural significance. At the start of the magazine, a vivid recounting of the tragic Massacre of Glencoe sets a somber tone. The narrative follows the brutal betrayal of the Macdonald clan by the soldiers under Colonel Hamilton's command, detailing the initial warmth and hospitality extended to the soldiers who were later ordered to execute a cold-blooded attack on the unsuspecting Macdonalds. As the evening of 12th February unfolds with tales of feasting and camaraderie, the story starkly contrasts with the impending horror of the massacre that ensues the following morning. The portrayal of this dark chapter in Scottish history serves as a compelling exploration of treachery, heritage, and the dramatic events that continue to resonate culturally in Scotland.
