McDonald kronachau the bras.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
What hell?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
He sounded just like a real scoplan when you said that.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
The quaranac of my dreams, the old sorrowful wail of
the pipes in the dim darkness that coming through the
grim gates of the veil of Glencoe, sorrowing for the
McDonald's to die, And the voice of the old leader,
old McCain, the old fox, as he told his dreadful
tale in my dream.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
And I had set my name to the paper, as
I said to the young McDonald and other people had
I thought the protection of the town, and we were
to be left they dwell in peace.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Among the crags of Duckling glen Coe.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
But that a em money that hate the McDonald's and
would ce us all dead and our graves. And they
are the ains that took counsel among themselves to plot
our doom and destruction for the I McKee and the
old Fox.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I had out fox the enemies of the McDonald's by
signing their role. And I'll say to you other I
meant to keep.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
It there all the McDonald's of in liegement to James
and his line. But now William the Dutchman rules h
and Jamie's played. Thus there was one dollar impule in Edinburgh.
And when he examined the paper, it seems that the
name of McKee and McDonald of glen Coe had next
(22:00):
sponge for the paper, so that we were still held traitors.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Though we knew it not so.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
When the soldiers of the Duke of Argyle's regiment came
to glenk oh and Cambell and Glenn the Lion leading them,
we welcomed them and took them into our hymns and
treated them as on a GIFs. I every man of
them was at Campbell, and their pipes be forever roaring
(22:29):
that chance, that the great argyle, And when the McDonald
pipes scuirtle, it was only the all the revels and
the strathspace, and the McDonald peverck was never head but
(22:50):
the roaring of the gmbel war pipes in the glen,
and that a small black crags of the glen gave
back there soon the barrel.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I am, I'm not donner, Alan.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Stay close to me, darling.
Speaker 6 (23:16):

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Did you see great.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
High, dismal black rocks.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
I saw great.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Horrible jagged crags and a stream splashing down among them.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I saw it, Alan, worry, we're lost. Ah, listen, I
do hear it. I do hear the pipe, Allen, Allen.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
In the darkness, in the lightning splashed darkness, and the
rain in the midst many things are revealed. They caught
a knock a McDonald's, the sobbing sporrowful music from.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
The blackened crags.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
All is not clear to me. The dream returns to me,
and it is morning of the February day, two and
a half centuries ago. In the they lived Francouver, and
I see the soldiers of the Campbells, and the gray
of the early dawn as they grew up their several
ways to the homes where they've been honored guests, and
they glint of little lights, and the naked Playmore blades both.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Bill for the McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
The child laughs and calls to the companion of yesterday.
The Claymore slashes down at them, and the massacre is begun.
The Campbells are everywhere, slashing, burning, shooting down the helpless
ones or yesterday bat and welcome.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
At their firesides.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Put all to the sword that let me escape, the
secret orders out of them, and the Campbells did well
their work.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
And this is the dream I could not remember, save
for the old man, the old fox. But tell the
last of them.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
All beside his heart that morning in Glencore, in my
dream I heard his dying words cursed ye all, And
the Claymore of the campbell struck him fair between the eyes,
an unarmed man.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
But still in the dream his voice went, you had
a MacDonald.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Never forget him, Never forget that the MacDonald's of Glencoe
shall be revenged against the camels.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Never shall one of the name of Campbell.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
Enter the dark, the blood haunted vale of Glencore, Never never, never,
And when ye hear the coral after the McDonald's, don't cry, don.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
We'll be all right. Listen to the pipes again. No,
don't you hear it? Him? I hear it.

the lightning flash. All right, it's the man with the
bagpipe him. Wait, Diona, Hey, at least come on, let's
