I had to Google Culloden and The Clearances.

To my great surprise, I immediately recalled the story, but still drew a complete blank on the names.

Believe it or not, they used to teach things like that to college freshmen in the 1960s.

Also interesting - the first edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica was published just 22 years after the Battle of Culloden.

As a Southerner and of Scottish descent, I was told the stories by family. There is a book that has the supposition that war was inevitable, because of the difference between Anglo Saxons in the North and Celts in the South. I believe it was written by Randall Wallace of Braveheart fame.
