Battle of Coille Bhan
The Battle of Coille Bhan (Scottish Gaelic for ''White Wood'') was fought in 1721 near Attadale, in the county of Ross in the Scottish Highlands. It was fought between a British government force against Highlanders of the Clan Mackenzie.〔Mackenzie, Alexander. History of the Mackenzies: With Genealogies of the Principal Families of the Name. Published in 1894. Pages 310 to 311.〕〔http://www.electricscotland.com/mackenzie/images/CHAPT.10.pdf Mackenzie, Alan. History of the Mackenzies. Chapter 10. Pages 142 - 144.〕
==Background==
The Battle of Coille Bhan followed on from the Battle of Glen Affric in 1721 when government forces had failed to take the lands of Mackenzie of Seaforth. The taxes being collected by Macknezie’s factor, Donald Murchison were being sent to Mackenzie himself who was living in exile in France for his part in the Jacobite Rising of 1715, rather than the taxes going to the British crown.〔 It was decided that a second attempt should be made to seize Mackenzie of Seaforth’s estates.〔
This time 160 soldier’s of Colonel Kirk’s regiment left Inverness under the command of Captain McNeil who had previously served in the Highland Watch regiment.〔 Unlike their predecessors who had been ambushed in Glen Affric, McNeil took a longer but easier route, from to Inverness to Dingwall, Strath-garve, and Loch Carron.〔
Mackenzie’s force were led by Colonel Donald Murchison who had been in command at the previous conflict in Glen Affric.〔 Donald Murchison marched his main force to the top of Mam Attadale while a relative of his, Kenneth Murchison went forward with 13 men, all armed with muskets to prepare for an ambush at Coille Bhan (White Wood).〔
