Best Answer

The expression has been taught to many Scots children as a result of the massacre of Glen Coe. The officer in charge of an English military regiment, Robert Campbell, had been sheltered, and his men had been fed and shown hospitality by the MacIans (a sub clan of the Donald clan), but was ordered to massacre the entire group. This he tried to do (only partially successfully) and the hatred of the event was magnified because not only had he turned on his hosts, but was even related to them by marriage.
