Massacre of Monzievaird information


Mausoleum at Ochtertyre, built on the site of the old church

The Scottish Highland Massacre of Monzievaird [1] took place on 21 October 1490, at the church of Monzievaird, at Ochtertyre, near Hosh in Perthshire. Some sources give the date as 1511.[2] It was the culmination of a violent blood feud between the Murray and Drummond families.[3] Although feuding, murdering kin, and marrying enemies was commonplace for Highlanders at the time, the massacre was nevertheless notorious and sensational in its day.[4]
