The Feith Leoid Massacre

Retribution on the Slopes of Torridon

Scattered across the Scottish Highlands are place names that whisper of ancient conflict. One such name is Feith Leoid—the bog of Leod—a quiet, rugged stretch of ground near Kenlochewe in Wester Ross. Today, it lies beneath clouds and heather, but in the mid-14th century, it was soaked in the blood of a dramatic reckoning. This is the story of the Feith Leoid massacre, a Highland revenge tale involving betrayal, exile, cunning, and a young warrior known as Black Murdo of the Cave.
