... And, at Innerriggin, where Glenlyon
was quartered, the soldiers took other nine men, and did bind them, hand
and foot, [and] kill'd them, one by one, with shot; and, when Glenlyon
inclin'd to save a young man, of about 20 years of age, one Captain
Drummond came, and ask'd how he came to be sav'd in respect of the
orders that were given, and shot him dead; and another young boy, of
about 13 years, ran to Glenlyon, to be sav'd. He was likewise shot
dead.... And all these five witnesses concur, that the aforesaid
slaughter was made by Glenlyon, and his soldiers, after they had been
quarter'd, and liv'd peaceably, and friendly, with the Glenco men about
13 days, and that the number of those whom they knew to be slain were
about 25, and that the soldiers, after the slaughter, did burn the
houses, barns, and goods, and carried away a great spoil of horse,
nolt,[8] and sheep, above a 1,000.

... And upon the whole matter, it is the opinion of the Commission,
First, that it was a great wrong that Glenco's case, and diligence as to
his taking the oath of allegiance, with Ardkinlas's certificate of his
taking the oath of allegiance on the 6th of January, 1692, and Col.
Hill's letter to Ardkinlas, and Ardkinlas's letter to Colin Campbell,
Sheriff-Clerk, for clearing Glenco's diligence and innocence, were not
presented to the Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council, when they were
sent into Edinburgh, in the said month of January, and that those who
advis'd the not presenting thereof were in the wrong, and seem to have
had a malicious design against Glenco; ... Secondly, that it appears to
have been known at London, and particularly to the Master of Stair, in
the month of January, 1692, that Glenco had taken the oath of
allegiance, tho' after the day prefix'd; for he saith, in his letter of
the 30th of January, to Sir Tho. Livingston, as is above remark'd, "I am
glad that Glenco came not in within the time prescrib'd." Thirdly, that
there was nothing in the King's instructions to warrant the committing
of the foresaid slaughter, even as to the thing it self, and far less as
to the manner of it, seeing all his instructions do plainly import, that
the most obstinate of the rebels might be received into mercy upon
taking the oath of allegiance, tho' the day was long before elaps'd, and
that he ordered nothing concerning Glenco and his tribe, but that "if"
they could "be well separated from the rest, it" would "be a proper
indication
