Raid on Ross

Raid on Ross

The Raid on Ross was a conflict that took place in 1491 in the Scottish Highlands. It was fought between the Clan MacKenzie against several other clans, including the Clan MacDonald of Lochalsh, Clan MacDonald of Clanranald the Clan Cameron and the Chattan Confederation of Clan Mackintosh. [http://www.clan-cameron.org/battles/1491.html The Raid on Ross@Clan Cameron.org] ]

Ewen Cameron, chief of Clan Cameron , joined by Alexander MacDonald of Lochalsh, Clan Ranald of Garmoran and Lochaber and the Chattan Confederation, who they must have made peace with. Together the clans went on a raid into the county of Ross-shire. During the raid they clashed with the Clan Mackenzie of Kintail. They then advanced from Lochaber to Badennoch where they were even joined by the Clan MacKintosh. They then proceeded to Inverness where they stormed Inverness Castle and MacKintosh placed a garrison in it. The Macdonald Lords of Lochalsh appear at this time to have had strong claims upon the clans to follow them in the field. The MacDonalds of Lochalsh were superiors under the chief of Clan Donald, Lord of the Isles.
