Keppoch murders
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Keppoch Murders (Scottish Gaelic: Murt na Ceapaich) is the name given to the murder of Alexander MacDonald, 12th of Keppoch and his brother Ranald, who were murdered in September 1663 by rival claimants to the chieftainship.
The seven killers were hunted down, killed and decapitated. The well where the heads of the seven murderers were washed before presentation to the Lord MacDonnell of Invergarry is known as Tobar nan ceann in Scottish Gaelic, meaning the 'Well of Heads', and is located not far from Invergarry.[1]
