'CRUEL IS THE SNOW THAT SWEEPS GLENCOE': Glencoe as an emotional landscape with Gordon Raeburn

This lecture will consider the representations of the emotional aftermath of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 in various media, including art and song, that were produced between 1692 and the present day.
