A Scottish Massacre\u2014Unearthing The Secrets of Glencoe<\/em>, uncovering a new archaeological discovery that reveals more about the Glencoe Massacre of 1692, has begun streaming on History Hit.<\/p>\n

The documentary explores a newly unearthed hoard of coins linked to the massacre that were found inside a small pot placed beneath the hearthstone in the summer house of Alasdair Maclain, the clan chieftain of the MacDonalds of Glencoe. Each of the 36 coins holds clues to the personal history and connections of Maclain, with several originating from regions he traveled.<\/p>\n

For example, one coin comes from France. Another, depicting Stuart King Charles II and pierced with a hole, may signify Jacobite allegiance, as it was likely worn as a necklace during a time of intense political division in the Scottish Highlands.<\/p>\n

The documentary showcases the ongoing research that the discovery has inspired. History Hit filmed on site with the archaeology team and historic coin expert Jesper Ericsson, revealing how analysis of the hoard provides new insights into the massacre and life in 17th-century Glencoe.<\/p>\n

The coins were discovered by a team from the University of Glasgow and the National Trust for Scotland, led by Dr. Eddie Stewart and Professor Michael Given. The hoard was found by student archaeologist Lucy Anders.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s so exciting when a new archaeological discovery ties in with famous historic events,\u201d said Dan Snow, founder and creative director of History Hit. \u201cContemporary accounts tell us some details about the Glencoe Massacre, but many questions remain. So, to hold something tangible from those terrible events, a pot of treasured coins tucked away for safekeeping and then forgotten for centuries, is extraordinary and brings you so much closer to this notorious and important story. This remarkable find sheds new light on a key moment in Scottish history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis discovery offers an amazing insight into the lives of Scottish Highland clan chiefs in the 17th century and their connections and negotiation of status,\u201d explained Stewart. \u201cFor the first time, this documentary explores what these coins mean to the story not only of Glencoe and the 1692 massacre but also the personal travels and mobility of the Highland nobility. Our team of experts has brought to life a moment in time with the burial of this hoard and over a century of collecting practice!\u201d<\/p>\n

Given added, \u201cWhat\u2019s extraordinary about Glencoe is how a single dramatic moment in history can be captured in these everyday objects. A pot of coins hastily hidden under a fireplace, never to be retrieved, tells us of panic, death and loss. The archaeological evidence is also revealing a deep connection between the people of Glencoe and their land. When you understand this relationship you can better comprehend the true magnitude of the trauma they endured when their world was so violently upended in 1692 and their homes abandoned. Each artifact we uncover helps tell this complex story of community and loss.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
