The Tartan Triad
They became the new despots of pibroch to whom all pipers had to toady. Not to do so invited even worse vituperation than Campbell and Grant ever nightmarishly conceived.

The MacCrimmon book
The book, "in its deadly way, exposed the concealed history of Scotland, when to this day the author of an 'inconvenient' book can have his human rights abrogated and his and his family's lives destroyed, simply by the act of writing it. Freedom of speech is thus annulled in Scotland."

Smear Campaigns
"It was if the gates of a criminal lunatic asylum had swung open and out poured an interminable stream of homicidal maniacs, almost all apparently determined to destroy not merely me but my family. Truth was their first casualty."

Merchants of smear
Three smear campaigns were identified to protect child molesters from the consequences of their criminal behaviour. How the smear merchants will explain away their behaviour to their own wives and children will remain their eternal problem.
