Battle of Glen Affric
The Battle of Glen Affric took place in 1721 in Glen Affric, in the Scottish Highlands. It was fought between Government forces of the Clan Ross against rebel the forces of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan MacRae.〔Mackinnon, Donald. "The Clan Ross". Page 24.

==Background==
During the Jacobite rising of 1715 - 1719 the chiefs of the Highland Clan Ross had supported the British Hanovarian government. The rising of 1715 was ultimately defeated at the Battle of Sheriffmuir and another minor rising defeated at the Battle of Glenshiel in 1719, where troops from the Clan Ross had fought in support of the government and defeated the likes of the Jacobite Clan Mackenzie.
In 1720 two members of the Clan Ross; William Ross, 6th of Easter Fearn (ex-Provost of Tain) and his brother Robert Ross (ballie of Tain) had been appointed factors on the estates of Mackenzie of Seaforth, Chisholm and Glenmoriston. The following year in 1721 they went on an expedition to collect rents on these estates.〔 The Rosses set off from Inverness with thirty armed men, picking up a further fifty armed men from Bernera Barracks.〔
