Battle of Drumlui

Battle of Drumlui

The Battle of Drumlui was a Scottish clan battle that took place in 1337, in the Scottish Highlands between the Clan Cameron and the Clan Mackintosh. [http://www.clan-cameron.org/battles/1337.html Battle of Drumlui@ClanCameron.org] ]

The lands had previously been undisputedly owned by the Camerons for many years until they were demanded by William MacKintosh, son of Angus, 6th Chief of Clan MacKintosh. The MacKintoshes appealed to the sword and a battle was fought at Drumlui. The Camerons were defeated under the leadership of Donald Alin Mhic Evin. This battle led to a very long-lasting 350 year feud with the two clans constantly attacking each other.
