Dunaverty Massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Kintyre, Scotland, at Dunaverty Castle in 1647, after the Battle of Rhunahaorine Moss, the remaining men of MacDonald's army surrendered at Dunaverty after a siege and were killed, nearly to the man, by the Covenanters under General David Leslie. Though this site had been a fortification for nearly 1000 years, the castle was destroyed after the battle and little remains at the site.
