Seven Heads

Seven Heads

It is a tall needle-like monument topped by a sculpture of a hand holding a dagger and seven severed heads - a reminder of one of the most gruesome episodes in Scottish clan history. This was a bloody tale of internal strife among different sections of one of the largest clans in the Highlands, the MacDonald's.

What is striking about the story is the overwhelming sense of vengeance and power masquerading as justice which typified the clan system and over which the authorities in Scotland had no control.
