In the rage of the moment, Maclean threatened the man with instant death, but this punishment was commuted to a whipping or scourging io the face of his clan, which, in those) feudal times, was considered a degrading punishment, fit only for the lowest of menials and the worst of crimes. The clansman burned with anger and revenge.
