	INVERLOCHY CASTLE
		The significance of Inverlochy Castle is witnessed by the three battles which have taken place outside its walls, the first a naval engagement in 1297, and the others on dry land in 1431 and 1645.
		Inverlochy Castle differs from other west highland early stone castles in its level site, which allowed the layout of a quadrangular courtyard with its circular tower at each corner (unlike, for example, Dunstaffnage Castle, the walls of which follow the edges of the rock on which it sits).
		Inverlochy remained an important castle after the forfeiture of the Comyns, and was later held by the Gordon Earls of Huntly, who were granted it in 1506 with permission to strengthen its defences and outworks.

	MacKintosh Battles
		A battle was fought between the opposing clans, so bloody and furious that the King and spectators were seized with "an inexpressible horror." Four of the Mackintoshes survived the battle, but they were all mortally wounded.
		This battle, which had been orchestrated as to put an end to tensions between the two rival clans, had the effect of "suspending" actions for a number of years (in that the best and strongest men of each clan had been killed), but it did nothing to eliminate the ongoing feud in the future.
		Indeed, it seemed as though the battle to end all battles between these two ancient adversaries was ready to commence, and Ewen had no doubts as to who would emerge victorious.

	Here's a listing of Macranald derived names appearing on the west coast of Scotland:
		In an old history from the Sleat Macdonalds, however, Ranald Bain was said to be the illegitimate son of Iain Mor and the daughter of the Abbot Mackinnon of Iona.
		In this light Ranald Bain would have been in his forties at the battle of Inverlochy in 1431, certainly old enough to have a son Robert in 1433.
		It should be noted that Ranald Bain was the main battle commander at Inverlochy and through his achievement there was granted Largie in Kintyre by Donald's successor Alexander, Lord of the Isles.

		Huntly and Crawford fought at Sauchie burn on the king’s side, but Caithness appears not to have arrived in time for the battle, although Abercrombie and Holinshed distinctly state that he and others were on their way to his assistance.
		Huntly charged with impetuosity the left wing of the English, and after a desperate encounter drove them off the field; but on returning from the pursuit of the enemy he found that matters were not going on so satisfactorily in the other parts of the field.
		The hostile parties met, and a sanguinary battle was fought at a place called Summerdale, about four miles north-east from Stromness, in which the Earl of Caithness and all his men were slain, and Sinclair of Ravenscraig was taken prisoner.
