Battle of Alltachuilain
The Battle of Alltachuilain〔Sage A.M. , Rev. Donald (1899). ''(Parish Life in the North of Scotland Chapter VI - The Topography of Kildonan - 1800 )''. electricscotland.com. Retrieved on 29 December 2012.〕 (or Ald-Quhillin〔Gordon, Sir Robert, ''A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland''. Originally written between 1615 and 1630, published in 1813. pp. 95 – 97.〕) was a Scottish clan battle that took place in 1518 in the parish of Loth, county of Sutherland, Scotland.〔 It was fought between factions of the Clan Sutherland in a dispute over the Earldom of Sutherland.
==Background==
John de Moravia, 9th Earl of Sutherland (also known as John Sutherland), chief of Clan Sutherland died in 1514 leaving no heir. He was succeeded by his younger sister Elizabeth de Moravia, 10th Countess of Sutherland.〔Gordon, Sir Robert. ''A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland''. Originally written between 1615 and 1630. Re-published in 1813. pp.75 -84.〕 Elizabeth married Adam Gordon who was a younger son of George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly, chief of the powerful Clan Gordon.〔 Elizabeth and Adam Gordon’s son, Alexander Gordon, Master of Sutherland, would become the legal heir to the Earldom of Sutherland, however this was disputed by others.〔 Firstly John Mackay of Strathnaver, chief of the Clan Mackay rose up in opposition to the Gordons who had taken power in Sutherland.〔 Mackay fought against the forces of Elizabeth de Moravia and Adam Gordon at the Battle of Torran Dubh in 1517 where Mackay was defeated.〔 The Sutherland force had been led by Elizabeth’s younger half-brother Alexander Sutherland, who she had persuaded to resist Mackay.〔 However shortly afterwards Alexander Sutherland married a sister of John Mackay,〔 and according to one account Mackay tampered with Alexander Sutherland to renew his claim to the Earldom.〔Browne, James. (1875). ''A History of the Highlands and of the Highland Clans, Volume 1.'' pp. 181.〕〔(Sutherland Clan History ). electricscotland.com. Retrieved on 2 January 2013.〕 Alexander Sutherland then claimed the Earldom of Sutherland for himself as the rightful heir.〔
