Battle of Aldy Charrish
The Battle of Aldy Charrish (also known as the Battle of Auldicharish, Aldicharrish, Aldecharwis, Alt a'Charrais, Alt Charrais, Alt na Charrais) was a Scottish clan battle that took place on 11 July 1487. The Clan Mackay and possibly the Clan Sutherland defeated the Clan Ross and their allies in the Scottish Highlands, probably on the south side of Strathoykel.
==Background==
The Battle of Auldicharish was part of an ongoing feud between the Clan Mackay and Clan Ross. Just one year before Angus Mackay of Strathnaver, chief of the Clan Mackay had been killed and defeated at the Battle of Tarbat by Alexander Ross of Balnagowan, chief of the Clan Ross. Angus Mackay's son John Mackay returned a year later to attack the Rosses in revenge for the death of his father.
According to 17th-century historian Sir Robert Gordon, who was a younger son of Alexander Gordon, 12th Earl of Sutherland, the Clan Sutherland joined the side of the Clan Mackay at this battle.〔Mackay, Robert. (1829). ''History of the Clan and House of the Name MacKay''. pp. 86. Quoting: Gordon, Sir Robert. (1580 - 1656). ''A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland''.〕 However 19th-century historian Angus Mackay disputes the Sutherland's presence at the battle stating that it would be unlikely that the Earl of Sutherland at the time would have assisted against the Rosses as he was married to a daughter of the Ross chief of Balnagowan, and also that the feudal superiority of the Sutherlands over the Mackays "nowhere existed save in his own fertile imagination".〔Mackay, Angus. (1906). ''The Book of Mackay''. (St Andrews University). Printed by William Rae, Wick. Pages 70 -71.〕
