Battle of Tuiteam Tarbhach
The Battle of Tuiteam Tarbhach ((スコットランド・ゲール語:"plentiful slaughter");〔 also known as Tuttim–Tarwach, Tuttim–Turwigh, Tuttim–Tarwigh or Tutim Tarvach) was a Scottish clan battle in which the Mackays wiped out raiders from the Clan MacLeod of Lewis who were returning from an attack on Mackay land in Strathnaver. The Mackays caught up with the raiders on the north bank of the River Oykel some three miles west of where the river joins the River Cassley at the head of the Kyle of Sutherland. The battle probably took place in 1406, but the date is uncertain from the manuscripts.
==Background==
Angus Mackay of Strathnaver had married〔 Referred to as ''Conflicts of the Clans'', this is probably based on Gordon's account.〕 Sidheag, sister of Roderick, chief of the MacLeods.〔Early authors thought that Malcolm himself was chief of the MacLeods, rather than Roderick.〕 When Angus died, he left his brother Black Hugh (''Uistean'' Dow or ''Houcheon Dubh'') as regent ("tutor") for his two sons Angus Dow (''Dubh'') and Rory ''Gald''〔 (Roderick ''Gald'', "Lowland"). When Roderick heard that his sister was in dispute with Hugh Mackay in 1406,〔1406 is the date given by ''Conflicts of the Clans'' and many other sources, although the ''New Statistical Account of Scotland'' merely repeats Gordon's comment that the battle happened whilst Robert son of Nicholas was Earl of Sutherland. Gordon says that Nicholas died in 1399, but the ''NSAoS'' authors dismiss the accuracy of his dates and say that "1397 may be considered as about the time of this event". 1395 is the date used by a source that calls the battle Tuttim-Turwigh, but the origin of this combination is not clear.〕 he decided to resolve the matter by sending a company of men to the Reay Country, the Mackay lands that bordered Caithness. The men were led by Roderick's brother, Malcolm (''Máel Coluim'' or ''Maol Choluim'') MacLeod, later known as ''Gille-caluim Beag'', ''Gill-callum-beg-Macbhowan''〔 or ''Gilealm Beg McBowen'' ("Malcolm the Little"); "''gille''" had come to replace "''maol''" in such names.
Failing to come to an amicable agreement, Malcolm ravaged Mackay lands in Strathnaver, and the Sutherland district of Brae-Chat (Breachat),〔 around Lairg at the south end of Loch Shin. This provoked both the Mackays and Robert Earl of Sutherland, the latter sending a company of men under Alexander Murray of Cubin (''Alistair Ne-Shrem-Gorme'')〔 to join Hugh Mackay in pursuit of the raiders.〔 Now available on CD (ISBN 1897955847); most other accounts are based on Gordon's.〕
