  2. Old Battles

    Share Share Post
    There was a great battle fought between the evictions of Glen Veigh and Odare the English man. He wanted to get shooting on the hill and the people would not let him, because if he and his followers got up on the hill they would shoot the people's sheep and goats, so he got a gang of English troopers, and they took the people out of their houses and shot them.
