Summary
A small 1994 newspaper clipping from The Scotsman we came across writes about a skull being uncovered on the island of Coll, in a place long known as Hangman’s Hill and of the islanders frightened enough to ask the church to bless the ground. Behind the discovery lies an older Maclean clan tradition of murder, revenge, execution, unconsecrated burial, and the belief that some dead do not rest quietly.
