Preamble-
James VI, psychopath and Scottish patriot
The son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Lord Darnley became King of Scotland upon his mother's forced abdication in 1567.
He was thirteen months old at his coronation and brought up by extremely manipulative individuals. He successfully stopped the draw of power away from his position by the Calvinists, he enjoyed torturing witches and Negroes, considered his Highlanders 'barbarians' and ordered their extinction so that English-speaking Lowlanders could be installed to replace them.
This seventeenth century ethnic-cleansing, which James called 'kingcraft', was eventually executed by him not in the Highlands but in Northern Ireland. Had Roman Catholicism still been in place across Britain then Henry VIII's children from his various marriages would not have been recognized as heirs to the throne.
The crown of England would then have gone to Mary, Queen of Scots, whose grandmother was Margaret Tudor, Henry's sister. With Protestantism however, the crown went to Elizabeth.
After she had executed Queen Mary in 1587, and died herself in 1603 without issue, James VI of Scotland became James I of England. This became known as the Union of the Crowns. He moved to England and settled into his greater domain easily, never returning to Scotland.
Archibald Campbell, The 7th Earl of Argyle
James VI, while waiting for his nemesis, Elizabeth I to die, restrained the Scots from marching into England and avenging the shameful beheading of his mother Mary. He considered his pending coronation as King of England as comfort enough. Meanwhile, he named Archibald "the Grim" Campbell, 7th Earl of Argyle, who was already the Justice-General of Scotland, as Warden of the south-west Highlands, putting him above the law.
On the strength of this new title, Argyle behaved with overwhelming arrogance. He began paying off old scores with his own relatives. This was not easy as the MacGregors and Campbells of Argyle got on very well together (as there was a great deal of intermarriage) and MacGregors were still a powerful force. Argyle now played a double game, he encouraged the MacGregors to harry the countryside especially his old enemies, the Colquhouns. When word got out about these raids, he would encourage the Privy Council to attack the MacGregors with fire and sword thereby eliminating some of his unruly tenants. He died in 1625.
The MacGregor Version
Argyle's Manipulations
The Laird of Luss saw an opportunity to gain lands from the embattled Clan Gregor, and began actively harassing any MacGregors who came within his reach. Two traveling Clan gregor men were refused food and killed a sheep to quell their hunger. Some Colquhoun clansmen apprehended them and the MacGregors offered to pay for their sheep. The Colquhouns declined and lynched the MacGregors on the spot.
About this time, Argyle began quarrelling with the Colquhouns of Luss and he invited the MacGregors to 'commit both hership and slaughter ' upon them. The clan MacGregor, at this time, welcomed any great man's protection so John, brother of Alasdair of Glenstrae, the Clan Gregor paramount chief, took some of his followers and went down to the rich Colquhoun lands between Loch Lomond and Loch Long and drove off 420 cows, 400 sheep and goats and 100 horses. Of course some Colquhouns were killed in the foray.
Since the Earl of Argyle was Justice-General of Scotland, Colquhoun of Luss wisely decided to ignore his part in the raid and, no doubt encouraged by Argyle, sent the customary bloody shirt to Edinburgh and asked for Letters of Fire and Sword against the MacGregors. Due no doubt to Colquhoun's stage managed show, with paid mourners and hired widows, orphans, and pig blood, he was granted a Royal Commission to raise a force against the MacGregors.
Another Royal Commission to Slaughter MacGregors
Word spread fast and furious in the Highlands when interclan battles erupted. Soon Clan Gregor were aware of the impending raids 'sanctioned by the King'. This was the kind of situation for which the old Highland Clans were well prepared . Subsequently, the bloody cross on the 'Cloak of shame' with it fiery cross was making its hurried rounds throughout Clan Gregor territory, by day and by night, calling all before it no matter what names they had assumed, to come to the common defence of their lands, property and families against the 'Saxon' menace.. For the Colquhoun's this was merely an inter-clan dispute, for the MacGregors it was a question of survival.
The MacGregors React
Alasdair was a rare man, who took the advantage before his opponent had the wit to seize it, and he prepared to hit the Laird of Luss before he was himself harried. He gathered four hundred men fully armed. Among them were Camerons, Campbells, and an eager detachment of MacDonalds. The MacDonalds of Glencoe had also been used by the Campbell GlenOrchy Lairds in the past. Cutting MacGregor throats for Campbell paymasters did not prevent Glencoe men from becoming MacGregor allies in the next generation.
The fiery cross was dispatched throughout Clan Gregor lands resulting in two hundred of the best selected to accompany Alasdair on an excursion into Colquhoun territory. Alasdair was successful in gaining the participation of two other Clan Gregor chiefs along with their best men, Robert Aberach MacGregor of Lochaber and Callum of Glen Gyle .
They left the braes (fields) of Balquhidder on a bitter February morning of 1603, crossed Loch Lomond from Glen Arklet to the Pass of Arrochar, and swung down the eastern shore of Loch Long and took up his quarters on the confines of Luss's territory, where he expected by mediation to bring matters to an amicable adjustment.
As the Laird of Luss was suspicious of Alasdair's intentions, with an army an army of 500 foot and 300 mounted soldiers formed from his own clan, with Buchanans, Grahams, and from towns-people of Lennox. The meeting broke up with no agreement and Alasdair with his detachment started for home.
The Laird of Luss, in pursuance of his plan, followed MacGregor with great haste through GlenFruin, in expectation of coming upon him unawares, and defeating him. However, Alasdair was on the alert and observed the approach of his pursuers. He divided his forces into two parts, the largest of which he kept under his own command. He placed the other under his brother John, whom he dispatched by a circuitous route, for the purpose of attacking Luss's party from the rear.
In open country, the Colquhoun cavalry could have run down the Highlanders with ease, but Alasdair placed his foot soldiers across the marshy ground of Glen Fruin at a narrow pass, where horses were useless. The Lowland infantry broke and ran at once when the Highlanders charged, their horses were hamstrung and slaughtered in the bogs. It was over in a few minutes. MacGregors, MacIntoshes, Camerons, Campbells, and MacDonalds ran over the dead to set fire to every house and stack in the lands of Luss. They drove off 2000 head of cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. The Battle of GlenFruin was perhaps the most brilliant battle that Clan Gregor ever fought but it proved to be its undoing before the court of a psychotic James VI..
The Preacher and his Students
Forty young schoolboys and their Preacher professor from Lennox came out to watch the fray and were taken prisoner and put inn the custody of a MacIntosh man called, 'Allan Og MacIntuach' and he saw no profit in this work when others were enjoying themselves so he cut 40 young Colquhoun throats and rejoined his kinsmen. When Alasdair later asked him where the prisoners were, he replied by holding out his bloody knife and saying "Ask that, and God help me!" (It took the law six years before they could catch up with MacIntuach and hang him.)
The Laird of Luss and his friends promptly sent notice of this disaster to the King, and they succeeded so effectually by misrepresenting the whole affair to him, and exhibiting to his majesty eleven score bloody shirts belonging to those of their party who were slain, that the king grew exceedingly incensed at the Clan Gregor, who had no representation about the king to plead their cause, proclaiming them rebels and interdicted all lieges from harboring or having any communication with them.
The Earl of Argyle Hunts Down The MacGregors
Argyle and his Campbell henchmen were given the task of hunting down the MacGregors. About sixty of the clan made a brave stand at Bentoik against a party of two-hundred chosen men belonging to the Clan Cameron, Clan Nab, and Clan Ronald, under command of Robert Campbell, son of the Laird of Glen Orchy. In this battle, Duncan Aberach, one of the Chieftains of the Clan Gregor, his son Duncan, and seven other MacGregors were killed. But although they made a brave resistance, and killed many of their pursuers, the MacGregors, after many skirmishes and great losses, were at last overcome.
Commissions were thereafter sent throughout the kingdom, for fining those who had harbored any of the Clan, and for punishing all persons who had kept up any communication with them, and the fines so levied where given by the king to Argyle as recompense for his services against the MacGregors.
Clan Gregor's rebuttal of a Royal decree could not have come at a worse time. James was all packed up to go to London and was in no humour to leave a large area of central Scotland under his antagonists' control. He applied all the force and fury at his disposal against the MacGregors to destroy them and wipe them off the face of the earth: his target was Alasdair, who was an honest man and accepted responsibility.
Argyle's Treachery
In a deed of treachery, Argyle, Alasdair's mentor, captured him, but could not hold him. Alasdair slipped away from a boat and swam off in the dark. Later on, he got a solemn promise from Argyle that if he surrendered, he would be taken out of the country to England. Alasdair decided to take the chance of going to London and pleading his case directly with James who was by this time ensconced on the English throne.
Argyle kept his word, fulfilling it to the letter, but broke it in the spirit. Alasdair and eleven sub-chiefs were taken to the English border, then immediately escorted to Edinburgh to face trial. He was hanged along with his eleven followers after a quick trial. For his work in suppressing disorder in the Highlands (which was to include the near extermination of the MacGregors) the Crown gave Argyle all the lands in Kintyre.
Upon learning of their chief's betrayal, the Clan Gregor planned retribution. They attacked Sir Duncan Campbell, whom they believed to be involved in Alastair's murder: "The records of the Glenlyon Campbells declare that when the storm broke, 'Even Sir Duncan quailed. The MacGregors laid waste Culdares and Duneaves in Fortingall, Crannuich in Breadalbane, Glenfalloch, and Bochastel in Menteith, and burnt his castle at Achallader.' His loss in money was 66,666 pounds. The loss in men was not collated."
For many years afterwards, MacGregors and their allies were hunted down and summarily executed merely on allegations that they were at the Battle of Glen Fruin.
The Colquhoun Version
Try as I could I could not find any trace of a Colquhoun account of this important battle. I can only assume that they would just as well forget it. I did find that the Colquhoun Clan claims Walker, King, and Leckie as Septs. That is rather odd because we do also.
However, their allies, the MacClintocks, recorded their own version of this conflict which follows:
The "Colquhoun" Version by Clan MacClintock (in the service of the Laird of Luss)
THE BATTLE OF GLEN FRUIN (Grammar corrected by H. MacGregor, and the parentheses are mine)
On February 7, 1603, one of the most savage interclan battles occurred in Scotland at Glen Fruin near Loch Lomond. The Clan Gregor and Clan Colquhoun fought a desperate battle which resulted in the defeat of the Colquhouns and the outlawing of the unfortunate MacGregors. Sir William Fraser in his history of the Clan Colquhoun entitled "The Chiefs of Colquhoun and their Country" notes that among the slain at the Battle of Glen (Fruin) was John Dhu MacGregor also known as" Black John of the Mail" from the black chain mail he wore in battle. John, the brother of the Chief of the MacGregors, (Alasdair) MacGregor, was killed by an arrow aimed by a young man named MacClintock who succeeded in shooting through the neck joint of his chain mail. This incident is also recorded in the "History of the Clan Gregor" page 332.
The bard of the Clan Colquhoun noted this event in gaelic which is literally translated as: "Quickly did you turn, Stripling MacClintock, by you was slain, John of the Mail, MacGregor's victorious son."
Devastation and spoliation of the battle was vast. 140 Colquhouns, including (women?) and children were slaughtered, large numbers of horses, cattle, sheep and goats were carried off and the houses of the tenantry burned to the ground. On April 3, 1603, two days before he left Scotland for England to take possession of the English throne, King James VI visited Dumbarton, which was near Glen Fruin, to meet Alexander Colquhoun, the clan chief, and ninety widows of the Colquhouns.
He expressed great sympathy for them and took instant and severe measures against the unfortunate MacGregors. He decreed that the dreaded name of MacGregor was proscribed from this time forward. All MacGregors will henceforth assume other names upon the penalty of death. No person shall use the name of MacGregor in the realms of Scotland. A price was put upon the heads of 70-80 of the MacGregors by name and their confederates from other clans. All who took part in the battle, now known as the "Slaughter of Lennox" were prohibited from carrying any weapon other than a knife to eat their meat. Between May 20, 1603 and March 4, 1604 thirty five of the clan were taken prisoner and executed after trial. Among them was (Alasdair) MacGregor the chief of the clan.
This battle occurred because the MacGregors were an outlaw clan, who were in constant conflict with their neighbors and the King. They committed violent acts of murder and thievery upon the more prosperous low country, especially around Dumbartonshire, the territory of the Colquhouns. They constantly raided their neighbors and stole their cattle, horses and other property, murdered the tenant farmers and burned their houses. The Clan Colquhoun supported the Scottish Crown and had taken part in the" Letters of Fire and Sword" issued by the crown against the MacGregors some years earlier. This added fuel to the feud between the two clans. The "Letters of Fire and Sword" was a proclamation of the King because of the violent and criminal acts committed by the MacGregors upon other clans. As the King's sheriffs and military were unable to protect the law abiding clans from ravages by the MacGregors. The "Letters of Fire and Sword" permitted other clans to aid the King in punishment of the MacGregors for their criminal acts by putting them to the sword and burning their dwellings without fear of punishment by the Crown.
Conflict between the two clans had existed for years prior to 1603, because the Colquhouns had taken part in carrying out this commission from the King. Atrocities were committed on both sides as the MacGregors would raid the Colquhouns and the injured clan would retaliate. In December 1602 the MacGregors made a regular raid on the Colquhoun lands at Glen Finlas and carried off a number of sheep and cattle and slew several of the tenants. Alexander Colquhoun, who had complained to the Privy Council against the Earl of Argyle for not repressing the MacGregors went to Stirling Castle to appear before his majesty James VI, accompanied by a number of female relatives of his clansmen who had been killed or wounded at Glen Finlas, each one riding a white horse and carrying a bloody shirt of her relative, to implore the king to avenge the wrongs done them by the McGregors. It is suspected that some of the blood was sheep's blood as well as human blood. This ruse had a profound effect upon the King who was known to be very sensitive to the sight of blood and descriptions of a bloody battle scene.
The King immediately granted a commission of lieutenancy to Alexander Colquhoun, granting him power to hunt down and apprehend (actually, to burn, kill and pillage) the MacGregors and repress similar crimes. This commission from the King infuriated the MacGregors, who arose in a lawless rage to defy the Colquhouns with the attack at Glen Fruin as the ultimate consequence. (In truth the MacGregor party left the meeting place in peace, and were ambushed by a prior arranged ploy by the Colquhouns)
The Colquhoun family or" Clan Colquhoun " has the distinction of claiming the oldest unbroken inherited lairdship in Scotland. The family has held their property for 840 years. The other clan territories around Loch Lomond (were) all purchased by other landowners. (?)
Sir Ivar Colquhoun is the 31st owner of the original family lands and the 33rd Laird of the Lands of Luss. He continues to maintain his home at Camstraddan near the Georgian Mansion, Ross dhu, on the land of his ancestors. Rossdhu means "Black Headland" in Gaelic. It is located on a wooded peninsula surrounded on three sides by Lock Lomond and has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan Colquhoun since it was built in 1772 by Sir James Colquhoun 23rd of Colquhoun and 22nd of Luss.
Compiled by J. W. McClintock
Clan Colquhoun genealogists claim that their line began when Conoch came to Scotland from Ireland during the rule of Gregory the Great, during 875-891, and that they obtained their lands from that monarch. It is said that the name Conoch evolved to Conochon, and later Colquhoun. The Colquhoun family name, however, comes from the lands bearing the same name west of Loch Lomond. During the reign of Alexander II, King of Scotland from 1214 - 1249, Humphrey Kilpatrick, whom some genealogists claim was the younger brother of the Kirkpatrick Lord of Closeburn, was granted these lands by Malcom, the Earl of Lennox.
Author's note: There was no mention here of the part played by considerable contingents from the Buchanans, the Grahams, and the local militia of Dumbarton. Also, no mention of the integral part played by the Duke of Argyll, the hereditary High Sheriff of Scotland and his longstanding feud with the Laird of Luss.
"This battle occurred because the MacGregors were an outlaw clan, who were in constant conflict with their neighbors and the King" is an oversimplification of a situation forced on the Clan Gregor by the seizure of their ancestral lands by the Campbells, and the ensuing scurrying by adjacent clans to grab whatever Clan Gregor territories they could.
I have never heard of any other source claiming there were women killed by Clan Gregor in this conflict.
Amelia Georgiana Murray MacGregor, writing in 1898 in the "History of the Clan Gregor," states that MacGregor of Ardinconnell, one of the oldest offshoots of the clan, was the branch most involved in the disputes with Colquhoun of Luss. The earliest record of any dispute is a Deed of Resignation dated February 7th, 1429, transferring Gleane Mackerne (Glen Mackurn) to John Colquhoun of Luss. Documents signed throughout the 1400s and 1500s indicate that the Colquhouns, like the Campbells, wanted MacGregor lands and were successful in their efforts, by the encouragement of the Campbells and the Crown.
However, due to their perseverence, cohesiveness, and their fighting abilities, the Clan Gregor managed to remain one of the most powerful highland clans until 1519, when the expansion of the Campbells created a problem of a different type.
When a young MacGregor boy of the House of Dughaill Ciar ravaged" a Campbell heiress, the girl's family used the incident to their advantage. The boy was forced to marry the Campbell heiress, and the Campbells forced him on to the Clan Gregor as Chief. However, his actions were under the full control of the Campbells, who used the puppet-chief to take over more MacGregor lands. Eventually, this branch of the MacGregors became extremely hostile to the Campbells, and were disowned by them.
Meanwhile, the true chiefly heirs, the house of GlenStrae, continued their struggles as guerrilla fighters in the mountains of Argyle and Perthshire, where they became known as the "Children of the Mist." With their lands now in the hands of the Campbells, the MacGregors had no other option than stealing cattle or poaching.
According to the "History of The Clan Gregor," serious trouble began in 1527, when Patrick MacGregor of Laggarie, "despoiled the father of the then Laird of Luss of a considerable number of oxen and cows." To obtain redress for the theft of his father's property, John Colquhoun summoned MacGregor on December 27, 1540 to appear before the Lords of the Privy Council who commanded MacGregor to restore to Colquhouns "eight oxen, twelve milk cows, or the price of them with profits of them since the year 1527."
MacGregor, however, did not comply, and on May 30, 1541, was prohibited from selling any "heritable properties" until the bill was paid. Unable to sell anything of value, this prohibition would have caused an impasse. How could MacGregor pay his bill if he could not engage in commerce?!
GLEN LUSS
In 1602 the MacGregors attacked the Colquhouns in Glen Luss, killing two clansmen, injuring others, and stealing livestock.
Rather than respond with violence, the Colquhouns traveled to King James VI seeking redress. Instead of merely presenting a petition, the Colquhouns staged a visual production. About fifty women, each displaying men's torn and bloodied clothing on poles, rode white ponies through the narrow streets that led to the castle. While the effect was compelling, most historians agree that pigs' blood and old garments were used to amplify the effect. The stunt, however, served its purpose and the king, who was well known as being queasy at the sight of blood (of any type), responded by granting the Colquhouns permission to pursue the MacGregors with "fire and sword." This commission gave the holders the right to kill any MacGregors they could (men, women and children), take their property, and destroy what they could not carry off.
GLEN FRUIN
The MacGregors were not slow to react. According to one account, Alasdair, the chief of the Glenstrae MacGregors, went to Luss in 1602 to negotiate on behalf of his clan. The meeting went smoothly and Glenstrae and his men returned home towards Rannach. The Colquhoun chief, however, did not trust the MacGregors and quickly gathered a group of his own followers, which included Buchanans and Grahams, and totaled about 500 horsemen and another 300 on foot. The group pursued the MacGregors, who traveled home by way of Glen Fruin. There being no road, the MacGregors were traveling through the floor of the valley when the Colquhoun forces attacked without provocation.
The MacGregors, however, were reputed to possess "the sight," and are said to have been able to foretell the future. Whether "the sight" played a role in the events that afternoon is anyone's guess. However, Alasdair MacGregor most certainly had a premonition of impending trouble and, prior to the attack, divided his men into two groups. The party traveling through the valley floor was not alone. Concealed along the ridge above, the second group watched the mayhem below.
While Alasdair maintained combat with his own group on the valley floor, his brother's men made the circuit of the hill and attacked the unsuspecting assailants from the rear. It is said that no fewer than 200 Colquhouns were slain. But although many of the MacGregors were wounded, the only persons killed were the brother of the chief and one other.
The MacGregors, however, were far from being "the winners." When the king learned of the massacre he ordered the entire MacGregor clan outlawed and condemned to extermination.
Glen Fruin (The Valley of Sorrow)
The MacGregors had raided the Colquhoun lands twice in 1602 - on the instructions of Argyll who was at feud with the Earl of Lennox and wanted his lands. Two young MacGregor men traveling from Dumbarton in January 1603 were hanged by Colquhoun of Luss for killing a sheep - as no-one would offer them food or shelter them so they helped themselves.
Alasdair of Glenstrae consulted the Earl of Argyll and then agreed to meet with Colquhoun of Luss to discuss compensation to the boys widowed mother. This was part of the Scottish legal tradition of arbitration by local lords. In view of the tense situation it was agreed that each side could bring no more than 100 men for security.
Reliable records prove that it was actually Robert Aberach MacGregor of Lochaber who planned the Glen Fruin affray, and it was Callum of Glen Gyle (grandfather of Rob Roy) who actually led the combined force. Each of the four tribes was led by their respective Chief although Alasdair was the most prestigious, and was willing to take the responsibility for the battle on his own shoulders.
The MacGregors brought 200 - 100 were left 3 1/2 miles away outside Colquhoun's boundary. Colquhoun brought 400 and hid 300 of them in ambush close to the meeting point plus a further 100 mounted militia a mile of so away.
The Colquhoun's Luss's men consisted of Lindsays, Buchanans MacLintocks and other townspeople from Lennox. The meeting broke up and the MacGregors withdrew but not by the route where Colquhoun had set his ambush. 400 of Luss's men then pursued the 100 MacGregors out of Glenfruin to a stream which marked his boundary. The MacGregors stopped and mounted a defence at this point - killing Lindsay of Bonhill and several sons of Colquhoun of Camstraddan among others.
Once Luss's men were committed to a frontal assault over this stream the remaining MacGregors came out of hiding and began to pick Luss's men off with arrows. Luss's men then retreated part way back to Auchengaich at the top of Glen Fruin. They made a further stand but were driven off again by the MacGregors with more losses. At the level ground of Auchengaich Luss put his men into line of battle - they still outnumbered the MacGregors by two to one. That stage of the battle lasted a few minutes by which time Luss's men were put to flight with more losses. Many more were killed in the rout. Altogether two MacGregors were killed (including Iain dubh - who was brother of the chief and father of the next chief after the execution of Alasdair roy) - and at least 120 of Luss's men.
Alasdair of Glen Strae, 11th Chief of the Glenstrae Branch of the Clan Gregor, (who claimed direct descent from Fergus, King of the Scots as did James) was found guilty by a contrived court and was executed along with his relatives beneath him, which was meant as a deterrent to his clan. This shows how little the Scots rulers understood the nature of the Clan Gregor people, for they existed as a number of bodies that, like beads of mercury, coalesced at the slightest disturbance of their equilibrium. With some clans, the obliteration of a single leader and still more, of a whole line, would have made it easier to exterminate them. But, as events proved, Alasdair's death made little difference to the cohesiveness of his followers.
An personal Analysis of the battle and its consequences:
The MacGregors were declared fair game to any landowner who possessed the strength and fortitude to take them on. They were scattered largely due to the greed of the Campbells but later, became pawns in the Campbell agenda of expansion.
The Laird of Luss was also a greedy and avaricious Laird, who became a nuisance to the Campbells. The most powerful of the Campbell Lairds was the Duke of Argyll. He tacitly set the MacGregors on to Luss to curtail his expansion northwards into Campbell territory.
Being hereditary High Sheriff of Scotland, Argyll held all cards in this struggle. If any blame were to go around, Argyll would come down on the perpetrator, be it MacGregor or Luss. With his influence and prestige at court, Argyll kept a close watch on the proceedings.
Luss wildly underestimated the abilities and fierceness of the MacGregors. He contrived a plan to ambush them with only twice their number. Being a lowlander, he had little idea of the mentality and toughness of the typical MacGregor clansmen.
Especially in winter, the MacGregors were a formidable opponent. Every MacGregor boy was raised with two cold water baths a day. This prepared them to withstand relentless winter winds in the frigid highlands. Time and again, throughout their history, MacGregor units outdid others in winter battles.
Argyll and others had often purchased the services of the second most fierce clan, the Camerons, to come south and bring down MacGregor "bandits". This tactic did not work out well, as the Gregarach knew the country side like no others. They knew how to use it to their advantage, and gradually became the toughest guerrilla force in all of Scotland, so that they also were hired out to quell encroaching clansmen in scattered skirmishes throughout Scotland, including the Camerons of the north.
The English used to swear that they could shoot dead a charging Highlander, and still feel the brunt of his sword as he fell upon them. No such compliment was forthcoming regarding the fighting abilities of the Lowlanders, who were of an entirely different ethnic stock.
Luss carelessly enrolled the services of the Lennox town militia in his quest to put down the Gregarach. One must question his motives, as they were lightly armed and no catch whatsoever for the more heavily armed berserk MacGregors.
One can close his eyes and envision the sight that befell the young militia recruits, as they saw a wildly retreating motley crew of Colquhouns, Grahams and Buchanans running weaponless, as fast as they could to flee their wild pursuers, with giant claymores in hand, slashing and screaming their war cries.
They were not merely MacGregors of Glenstrae, (the grieved party), but also MacGregors of Glengyle, Lochaber, Glen Orchy, and Glen Lyon, plus many from smaller mountain communities, all summoned by the fiery cross.
There were also others, the most dangerous of the (giant red-haired) MacDonalds, the (wild and uncontrollable) MacIntoshes of the powerful Clan Chattan Confederacy, Campbells (who had been given permission to join up from the Earl of Argyll, (High Sheriff of all Scotland), even some of the vicious Camerons of the far north, and other wild men of the Highlands, who were only too willing to teach the lowlanders a lesson in fighting and to get their fair share of the expected booty.
This battle was not merely a family feud between the MacGregors and the Colquhouns, but a racial showdown between Highlanders and Lowlanders, with one proviso; the blame or consequences of the proceedings would rest with the MacGregor Chiefs.
Given that these assembled highland warriors were a most formidable force, given the later use of Highland regiments in the regular British Army as shock troops around the globe. One must question Luss's mentality and his motives for enrolling the local militia. I believe his motive was to use them as cannon fodder to influence the King post battle against the MacGregors.
As it turned out, the battle was so lop-sided that Luss never admitted his total casualty figures. History records there were at least 200 Luss men killed. (Luss did not have to press the King for vengeance.) The truth was no doubt much higher. We do know that only two MacGregors were killed in that action. Many more died later under the executioner's hand for merely being there.
In retrospect, even if Luss's trickery had worked, and the main MacGregor party had been ambushed, it seems doubtless, the entire MacGregor band would have fallen on their antagonists in a much more vengeful mood. As it was, both sides probably got off with as light a casualty load as was possible under the circumstances.
The Battle of Glen Fruin was a watershed event to the Clan Gregor. As a result of the slaughter of the Colquhouns, the MacGregors were proscribed and condemned to extinction by James. The MacGregor victory was a direct affront to the King, and James would have none of it especially as he was about to become combined King of Scotland and England.
He would not allow an uncontrollable Clan to make him appear weak and indecisive. Therefore he vented his anger on this one clan and used them as an example to others who might be plotting to flout his authority. Indeed, for a lesser clan, this extremity would have been fatal, but Clan Gregor actually increased in numbers after Glen Fruin albeit as a scattered clan with no land and few friends.

reminds me of the one my Mom had 60 years ago. Love it!
Fabulous. Works like a charm for my wife who makes macroons. Screen is a little wide but work quite well.
I bought this to replace my old sifter that was over 25 years old and am quite impressed. It is solidly built and has 4 metal wires inside that not only sift against the screen, but also mix the dry ingredients. It is made by ChefGiant and I plan on keeping this brand in mind for other kitchen products I may need.

Skywatchers from Saudi Arabia and Oman to India and Singapore were treated to a rare "ring of fire" solar eclipse on Thursday.
Annular eclipses occur when the Moon is not close enough to the Earth to completely obscure the Sun, leaving a thin ring of the solar disc visible.
While these types of eclipses occur every year or two, they are only visible from a narrow band of Earth each time and it can be decades before the same pattern is repeated.
Depending on weather conditions, this year's astronomical phenomenon was visible from the Middle East across southern India and Southeast Asia before ending over the northern Pacific.

Eclipse stops play
In southern India, people gathered on the beaches in Tamil Nadu to watch the event.
The eclipse even affected cricket, with play delayed by two hours in a first-class match between Mumbai and Rajkot.
The eastern state of Odisha declared a public holiday, with all government offices, courts, schools and colleges closed.
But in New Delhi, cloud and pollution blocked the view, although only a partial eclipse would have been visible that far north.

In Indonesia, hundreds of people gathered outside Jakarta Planetarium to watch the event using protective glasses supplied by the planetarium, hoping for clear skies at the time of maximum eclipse.
"I could see the eclipse this morning and now am v ery excited to see the peak though now it is cloudy," said Chandra Ayu Dewi, 39, who arrived at 7:00 am with her children.

Style Scoop Who Did Marc Cast, Porter's Girls, Olivia Palermo Weds in Carolina Herrera
Kate Hillier and Luella Bartley took it to the e-streets to for their Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2014 campaign. Marc Jacobs and stylist Katie Grand used Instagram to find models with the hashtag #CastMeMarc. "It seemed like a great idea to me, as casting through Instagram seemed cool, current and strong," Jacobs said. "We wanted the ads to shout with youth and energy… to be fresh and reclaim the spirit that the collection had when we first conceived of it—to be another collection, not a second line." Here is your first look at who Marc cast in the ad! [Women's Wear Daily]
Net-A-Porter's glossy, Porter, is more than a fashion magazine. Porter strives to make women feel good, and it starts with the cover girls. "When we first spoke to them"—Inez and Vinoodh, who shot most of the covers—"about the project, we were talking about the importance of authenticity in the image," said Lucy Yeomans, Porter's editor-in-chief. "In some ways, it was the opposite of a [typical] fashion shoot. It was the woman coming first. Obviously, when we did Gaga [on the cover of Porter's second issue], who's not a model, we came at her from a very natural and non-theatrical angle. I wanted to see the 28-year-old girl who's managed to turn herself into a megaglobal brand. We have some Hollywood covers coming up in the pipeline—but they're all people who want to engage in the creative process, rather than show up and have three quarters of them shot in front of a white background." [The Cut]
Olivia Palermo married Johannes Huebel on Saturday, June 28, wearing a cream cashmere sweater that incorporated scattered ostrich feathers, a full tulle skirt with a high split, floral detailing and… a pair of shorts! The 28-year-old topped off the Carolina Herrera look with rhinestone-embellished deep blue Manolo Blahnik heels. You know, the ones Carrie Bradshaw married Mr. Big in their civil ceremony? She kept her makeup and jewelry simple, opting to wear her own delicate Alexander Mor stud earrings. "I wanted to keep my makeup light and fresh and more focused on about the lashes while keeping the eyes clean," the beautiful bride said. "My hair was in an uncontrived ponytail, one of my favorite personal looks." [GLAMChic]
Saks Fifth Avenue holds the key to the cure! The department store teamed up with Saturday Night Livein the fight against women's cancers. SNL is the Entertainment Industry Foundation's 2014 ambassadors for Key to the Cure. Seven New York-based labels designed exclusive items inspired by various SNL characters. The pieces will be sold in Saks's flagship's limited-edition SNL concept shop with items from Diane von Furstenburg, Elizabeth & James, Suno, Alice + Olivia and Eugenia Kim. All proceeds will benefit the EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund. In addition to the limited-edition items, Saks will have a charity shopping weekend slated for October 16-19. [Women's Wear Daily]

Le Musée de la Shoah (lituanien: Holokausto Muziejus), aussi connu sous le nom de Maison verte est l'un des trois musées du Musée juif d'État du Gaon de Vilna, situé à Vilnius en Lituanie. la Maison verte est située au 12 rue Pamėnkalnio. C'est le plus petit des trois, mais aussi le plus connu. Pendant de nombreuses années, il a été dirigé par Rachel Kostanian, qui a consacré une grande partie de sa vie à la recherche de la vérité sur la Shoah.

Le musée
Un des fondateurs de ce musée est le  Rachel Margolis, qui a fait pendant plusieurs années la une des journaux comme vétéran partisane juive antinazie, cible de nombreuses campagnes antisémites par des historiens négationnistes et poursuivie pour diffamation par des procureurs locaux. Dans l'impossibilité de retourner en Lituanie pour des questions de sécurité, après son départ pour Israël, sa cause a été relayée par des membres du Congrès des États-Unis et par des membres de la Chambre des lords britannique. Le musée est célèbre pour son témoignage simple et précis de la Shoah en Lituanie et de l'implication massive de la population locale dans les assassinats.

Sa présentation est traditionnelle, même un peu archaïque, très différente de ce que l'on trouve dans les musées modernes, mais est la création sincère des survivants de la Shoah.

À l'extérieur, sur le terre-plein devant le musée, se trouve un petit monument en l'honneur du vice-consul du Japon en Lituanie d'avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Chiune Sugihara, qui a émis, malgré les ordres reçus, des milliers de visas, sauvant ainsi de nombreux Juifs d'une mort certaine.

Le musée est situé dans une vieille maison en bois, repeinte en vert, d'où son nom. Il a été ouvert en 1991 et relate dans ses sept salles, le génocide des Juifs lituaniens, en exposant d'authentiques documents, des photographies, des sculptures, des lettres, des journaux intimes et autres reliques.

Un des buts de ce musée est de sensibiliser la jeunesse et de rétablir certaines vérités passées sous silence comme la participation de policiers et soldats lituaniens dans l'extermination des Juifs.  Ce musée a été la première institution de toute l'ancienne Union soviétique à parler et à enseigner la Shoah dès les années 1990

Malgré le manque d'argent, ce petit musée attire de plus en plus d'élèves et d'étudiants locaux ainsi que de nombreux visiteurs étrangers.

Fania Yocheles Brantsovsky, une des rares survivantes de la Shoah est consciente du rôle pédagogique du musée:
Honneur aux partisans juifs. Les médias de masse antisémites, les procureurs et les politiciens peuvent continuer et continuer à diffamer les héroïques partisans juifs qui se sont échappés du ghetto pour se joindre au combat pour libérer la Lituanie des nazis. Mais ici, dans la maison verte de Rachel Kostanian, leurs photos restent en place, et ils regardent fièrement et courageusement afin d'inspirer pour toujours les nouvelles générations de jeunes gens et de les inciter à se lever contre la tyrannie et combattre pour la liberté.

La Shoah en Lituanie

Le , quand les Allemands envahissent la Lituanie, environ  Juifs vivent dans le pays en comptant les réfugiés de Pologne. À la fin de la guerre, il n'en reste que . Près de 94 % des Juifs lituaniens sont enterrés à Poneriai, au neuvième fort de Kaunas, ou dans des puits près de leur maison, dans la forêt ou dans des cimetières juifs. Dans de nombreux cas, ils ont été assassinés par leurs voisins, leurs camarades de classe ou de travail, leurs patients.

La première étape de la Shoah se situe entre l'été et l'automne 1941, quand environ  Juifs sont assassinés dans la campagne et les bois autour des grandes villes. Les Juifs sont alors parqués dans des ghettos. À l'automne 1941, le ghetto de Vilnius rassemble  Juifs, celui de Kaunas (Ghetto de Kovno)  personnes et celui de Siauliai  personnes. Les Juifs de ces ghettos sont exploités par l'occupant et par la population locale, avant d'être progressivement éliminés. D'autres ghettos plus petits existent à Švenčionys et Oshmyany, liquidés au printemps 1943.

Quand les Allemands quittent la Lituanie à l'été 1944, chassés par l'Armée soviétique, ils embarquent les derniers Juifs survivants des ghettos, et la plupart d'entre eux vont mourir dans des camps d'extermination en Allemagne, Pologne ou Estonie.
De rares survivants échappent aux rafles en se cachant dans les sous-sols du ghetto ou grâce à une poignée de Lituaniens qui les cachent au péril de leur vie.

Contenu de l'exposition
Le musée présente des documents et des photos qui interpellent les visiteurs. Toutes sont sous-titrées en lituanien, en anglais et en yiddish.

Parmi les documents présentés, on trouve le rapport du  de Karl Jäger, chef du Einsatzkommando 3, fier d'avoir massacré  Juifs et qui détaille ville par ville le nombre de personnes tuées. Il ajoute:
Aujourd'hui, je confirme que notre objectif de résoudre le problème juif pour la Lituanie a été atteint par le EK3. En Lituanie, il n'y a plus de Juifs à part les travailleurs juifs et leur famille.
soit: à Schaulen: environ , à Kaunas; environ  et à Vilnius: environ .  J'avais l'intention de tuer ces travailleurs juifs ainsi que leur famille, mais j'ai eu une forte opposition de la part l'administration civile (le Reichskommissar) et de la Wehrmacht et les instructions ont été transmises que ces Juifs et leur famille ne devaient pas être exécutés. Il a été possible d'atteindre notre objectif de rendre la Lituanie « libre de Juifs » (judenfrei) en formant des escadrons pour les rafles, constitués d'hommes spécialement sélectionnés, conduits par l'Obersturmführer Hamann, qui a approuvé mon objectif et qui a compris l'importance de s'assurer la coopération des partisans lituaniens et des autorités civiles adéquates.
Dans un extrait du journal intime de l'archevêque métropolitain Juozapas Skvireckas (1873-1959), écrit à la date du 25 (ou 27) :
Le combat contre les Juifs continue. Les Juifs n'ont pas arrêté leurs attaques. Toutes les maisons sont fouillées, et des groupes de criminels sont conduits pour être fusillés. Hitler est non seulement un ennemi des Juifs, mais sa pensée est aussi très juste, car il y a plein d'informations concernant les massacres perpétrés par les bolcheviks et par les Juifs;
Le musée n'oublie pas aussi de mentionner et d'honorer ceux qui aidèrent au péril de leur vie à sauver des Juifs. Parmi eux:  le vice-consul du Japon à Vilnius, Chiune Sugihara;  le représentant de la société néerlandaise Philips en Lituanie,  Jan Zwartendijk, qui, après l'invasion de la Hollande par les Allemands, est nommé représentant plénipotentiaire des Pays-Bas pour les Pays baltes. En tant que tel, il  émit  visas pour des Juifs à destination de Curaçao ou de Suriname (alors colonies néerlandaises) et leur obtint des billets sur le transsibérien pour fuir à travers l'Union soviétique vers Shanghai. En 1987, Zwartendjik se voit décerner le titre de  Juste parmi les nations par le mémorial de Yad Vashem en Israël; et le soldat autrichien de la Wehrmacht Anton Schmid, qui sauva 300 Juifs, puis fut arrêté par la Gestapo et fusillé en 1942 comme traître au Reich pour avoir aidé des Juifs.  En 1967, il est nommé à titre posthume Juste parmi les nations.

The Fiji Rugby Union will follow the normal routine in reviewing the performance of the national team coaches.
Chief executive officer John O'Connor said they will follow the process in place.
This is in regards to the performance of the Fiji Airways Fijian 7s and Fijiana teams at the Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco, USA over the weekend.
"'We will do a review, that's normal, "O'Connor said.
The Iliesa Tanivula-coached Fijiana finished 11th while Coach Gareth Baber and his men ended up fourth after losing to New Zealand in the semi-final.
Tanivula has been given enough time to turn things around but the never-ending failure of the team will see him bite the bullet and a new coach could be in charge when the Women Sevens Series resumes in October.
Twenty-one months on the job, Baber fared well on the World Sevens Series winning five out of 10 tournaments but fell short to win the title in the last event in Paris.
Likewise, the team lost to New Zealand in the final for the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in April.
Baber will again be in charge when the 2018 -19 World Sevens Series resumes in November in Dubai.
And he needs to turn things around if he has to convince FRU that he is the right man to lead in the defence of the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
The last competition that the team has won was the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Fiji Airways Fijiana 7's captain Ana Maria Roqica will retire after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The 30-year old Vativa, Cakaudrove native said the RWCS was a learning experience.
"We lost the first game and managed to finish 11th. We have learnt a lot from the World Cup," she said.
Fiji lost to Spain 19-12 in the opener, hammered PNG 43-0 in the Challenge quarterfinal, lost 15-14 to Japan in the semifinal and thumped China 38-0 in the 11/12 place playoff.

A: We don't have an API to configure the font list (yet). You can create a new menu that looks the same, but you'll lose access to future changes we make (sup/sub/strike were added in 1.2).
More info is available in our Changing the toolbar article and the specific toolbar config documentation, but this config will do it:
var customFontMenu = {
  id    : 'font',
  label : 'Font Menu', // note this is not translated, the real menu is
  items : [ 'font-size', 'font-color', 'superscript', 'subscript', 'strikethrough' ]
};

var config = {
  ui : {
    toolbar : {
      items : ['undo', 'insert', 'style', 'emphasis', 'align', 'listindent', [ customFontMenu, 'removeformat' ], 'tools' ]
    }
  }
};

var editor = textboxio.replace('#targetId', config);

I also suggest logging a ticket in our support system so we can add your name to the font list configurability task.

A: Until I get a fix from ephox, I'll detach the fonts from the plugin.

A: Font customisation has been included with our version 1.3 release:

Spring is quickly leading into Summer, which means we'll be encouraged to spend more time outdoors in Pioneer Trail. We can see that happening already through the new "Fishing Pond" feature, which allows you to teach your in-game children how to fish while completing four new collections and some goals along the way.
A single Fishing Pole requires a Rod Ring and two Flexible Sticks, both of which can be earned by asking your friends to send them to you. For completing this first goal, you'll receive 450 XP, 400 coins and 10 Fish Bait.
Bait is crated by using Fish Hooks and Wiggly Worms. The worms themselves are earned at random as they drop from American Moss (and rarely from Blueberries). The Fish Hooks, meanwhile, can be earned by asking your friends to send them to you. When you complete this goal, you'll receive 950 XP, five Blueberry crops and a Clown Fish. This is an animated, decorative fish that tells jokes when placed on your Homestead.
The American Moss can be found on the game's free gifts page, while Rubber Overalls are crafted using Canvas Overalls and Rubber Padding (both of these come from friends). Complete this goal and you'll receive 1,400 XP, two Chunky Guppy Boosts and 20 Bait.
This marks the end of the Fishing Pond feature, at least in terms of goals, with you receiving 2,600 XP, three Aged Salmon Boosts and 30 more Bait for finishing this final goal. As for the collections, you can now catch Trout, Salmon, Guppies and Carp to receive XP and fishing bonuses along the way.
This feature will likely take you quite a while to complete, even if only for the mass amount of fishing you have to do, which requires so much bait. Still, if you stick with things, you'll slowly but surely finish it off. We wish you the best of luck in doing just that!
What do you think of the Fishing Pond in Pioneer Trail? Will you take the time to fish enough to fill these four new collections, or will you stop as soon as you finish this goal series? Sound off in the comments.

ANNOUNCEMENTS EVENTS WHAT'S HAPPENING
The Community Foundation of Howard County (CFHoCo) has announced the 2023 dates for its two signature fundraising events. The events help raise critical operating funds for the foundation's mission to connect people, places and organizations to worthy causes across Howard County and beyond.
The Spring Party will be held on the evening of Wednesday, May 24 on the grounds of The Apple Ford Center at Athol Manor in Columbia. Serving as the foundation's headquarters since September of 2021, historic Athol Manor proved to be a practical and fun location for the Spring Party in 2022. With a tasty variety of food trucks, wine and local beer served by guest bartenders, live music and party tents covering a guest list of community leaders and foundation friends last spring, the Spring Party continues to be the networking event of the season in Howard County.
The foundation's Annual Dinner and Celebration of Philanthropy is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, December 7, 2023. The site for the special community event will be announced later this year.
For the first time in years, we gathered in person for a joyous evening of food, fellowship and philanthropy in early December 2022. The sold-out night began with a cocktail reception, followed by a seated dinner and program highlighted by awarding the foundation's philanthropy awards, including an individual and corporate Howard County "Philanthropist of the Year."

Hiking in Dunnellon | Florida Hikes!
At the confluence of the Rainbow River and the Withlacoochee River, Dunnellon is an outpost for adventures in the woods and on the water. Settled in the late 1800s after the first discovery of phosphate in Florida, it was a mining boomtown in its early history. One of the mining areas, on a bluff overlooking a beautiful spring, was converted to Rainbow Springs, a public garden in the 1930s, now a state park.
It is in Dunnellon that trails meet, the Cross Florida Greenway and Withlacoochee State Trail intersecting to provide greater connectivity for cyclists and hikers throughout the region.
Big Cypress Trail- Deep in the heart of an ancient swamp, the Goethe Giant - one of Florida's largest cypress trees - stands tall at the end of a boardwalk in Goethe State Forest.


Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (also known as Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker) is an upcoming American epic space-opera film produced, co-written and directed by J. J. Abrams. It will be the third installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, following The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017), and as such it will be the final episode of the Skywalker saga. The film was produced by Lucasfilm and Bad Robot Productions and is scheduled to be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
The Rise of Skywalker is part of a new trilogy of films announced after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012. Colin Trevorrow was announced as the film's director in mid-2015, but left the project by late 2017 due to creative differences.

Yankee Institute Statement and Policy Recommendations Regarding Death of George Floyd
By Yankee Staff June 8 , 2020
Yankee Institute Statement3 Comments
Dear Connecticut friends,
Our hearts are broken for all those across our country who are in pain right now. As Dr. King taught us, "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." At times like these, we realize we are only a policy organization. We grieve with those who are hurting — from the families and friends of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, to every person of color across the nation who is suffering emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Here is what we do know. We have been in Connecticut for a long time thinking about ways to improve the lives of our citizens through sound policy. And we do that by truly listening, by providing irrefutable research, and by developing solutions – roadmaps that we believe offer all people the chance for a brighter future. At Yankee Institute, our tagline is "free to succeed" – and we take it seriously. We will always be committed to ensuring that every individual in our beautiful state truly has the opportunity to become the person he or she was created to be.
Right now, people want change, and we want to listen and step forward to help make change happen. We have done a lot of thinking already, over many years, about difficult issues Mr. Floyd's death have once again brought to the forefront. Those include policy reforms that would hold those in power more accountable to the people. We offer them here as a way to give all of us hope. We offer them here because, as a think tank, it is what we have to offer at this time. Specifically:
Reforming union contracts, which studies have shown increases the likelihood of the use of force by police, dictate disciplinary proceedings and may allow past disciplinary records to be expunged from employee files;
Reforming the arbitration process, which is dictated by contract and favors upholding work contracts rather than preventing bad actors from returning to their law enforcement jobs;
Ending a Connecticut-specific loophole called "supersedence," which allows any union contract to override state law; and
Reforming rules regarding civil asset forfeiture, which would strongly disincentivize law enforcement from seizing personal property unless there is an actual commission of a crime.
Over the coming days and weeks, we will share more details on these and other policy plans that we hope will spark a discussion for positive change. For as long as it takes, we stand ready to work with all people of good will to do what Yankee Institute was created to do – help ensure equal opportunity for all in a fair and prosperous Connecticut. And we cannot shy away from the difficult questions we all face right now. All of us have a role to play in the path forward. I am here to say that Yankee Institute is clear in what our role can be – and that we are committed to serving the people of our state.
Finally, as always, we also want to listen. Please email us and let us know how you feel. If you've never thought of speaking with a policy organization and are not sure why you would, just start by telling us about yourself and what you want to see for the future of Connecticut. Your input helps us craft policy that takes care of people – not government – and I will see every communication you send.

First of all if you want to do something! Stop calling them colored, stop calling them black and if you truly want to stop
racism, stop talking about it!
And if you want to call them something, call them Americans because that's what they are, just like you and me, they
bleed red, American red!
A. Lieberman
These are great, common- sense fixes that over time will make a difference, if only our elected officials have the courage to do what's right, even if it costs them the support of the unions.
George Tarby
If we hold our elected representatives and legislators accountable when making and allowing these illegal provisions to be not only drafted up but included in Municipalities Contracts illegally and in violation of Laws already in place…we must then conclude that it,s the Union,s as a whole that are the True root of this Mafia style takeover and cover up to back door secret societal extortion of the Taxpayer,s.Im not shocked.

Galway County Council are hosting a public consultation for County Galway's Biodiversity and Heritage Plan in Ballymacward Hall on Wednesday 7th June 11am – 1pm. All groups and individuals are welcome.
This page was added on 31/05/2017.


The system is located in the south of Olargues, in the Avant-Monts of Beziers on the left side of the stream of Crozes.
The Asperge cave was discovered in 1978 by the SC Beziers and Avant-Monts.
The first discovery, made by the same club, was named Aven des Crozes.It was in 1992, after 14 years of digging that the final access was created.
7km of the system has been explored at over 130 meters depth. This cave is the west head of the Rautely system, a karstique system.
You will find many aragonites in a baguette shape and they are also very large .
The best part of the cave is the ceilings recovered by blue aragonite!
The blue aragonites in baguette shapes have attracted many speleologists from all over the world as it's an exceptional site and view!

Q: Running .elf file on LEON3 processor using QEMU lately I have been trying to execute code on Leon3 processor using qemu. My code looks like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main(void) {

    int a,b,c,d,e;
    printf("hello world!");

    if(a){
        a++;
    };

    if(b){
        b++;
    };

    if(c){
        c++;
    };

    if(d){
        d++;
    };

    if(e){
        e++;
    };

    while(1){
    }

    return 0;
}

so it's a pretty simple program.
I start Qemu with following command:qemu-system-sparc.exe -nographic -M leon3_generic -m 64M -kernel testapp.elf
but I don't get any outupt. Qemu seems to start and immidiately quits, not even hanging on infinite loop.
Trying to debug leads to crash(?) with following code: qemu-system-sparc.exe: QEMU: Terminated via GDBstub
I think that maybe i don't undesrtand something about qemu, but I cannot find any help regarding running .elf files.
Maybe anyone have done this and can help me?

A: OK, so I have found a way to do this.
As Peter mentioned in the comments: Qemu needs "something" more than bare metal .elf file.
I have found that there is a tool MKPROM2 provided by Cobham-Gaisler that takes an .elf file and creates a ROM image that later can be loaded to Qemu with -kernel option.
The ROM image is different from bare metal .elf in a way that ROM image contains some initalization code that allows to run the program we initally wanted to execute.
So finally all that has to be done is running:
mkprom2 -freq 20 -romres testapp.elf
This outputs prom.out file that can be loaded to qemu.
