I knew you Highland Scots were hooligans but dear me, I did nae think you were that bad! ;)

Sorry folks, couldn't resist that one but what an fascinating piece of local history. Well worth the read.

I was of the raid and the outcome but that is the first time I have read an article about it. Thank you for that.
