Battle of the Shirts
The Battle of the Shirts ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Blàr na Léine), also the Battle of Kinloch-Lochy) was a Scottish clan battle that took place in 1544 in the Great Glen, at the northern end of Loch Lochy. The Clan Donald and their allies the Clan Cameron fought the Clan Fraser and men from Clan Grant.〔(Blar Na Leine )〕 The battlefield has been included and protected by Historic Scotland in their Inventory of Historic Battlefields in Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Inventory battlefields (see "Blar na Léine") )〕
Clan tradition of the clans involved and all histories written since the period have stated that the name was derived from the fact that the day was so hot that both sides threw off their plaids, fighting in their shirts. However, some have postulated in recent times that ''Blàr na Léine'' is a corruption of ''Blàr na Lèana '' 'the Field of the Swampy Meadow'.〔
==Background==
The chiefship of the Clan Macdonald of Clanranald was in dispute.〔Way, George and Squire, Romily. (1994). ''Collins Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia''. (Foreword by The Rt Hon. The Earl of Elgin KT, Convenor, The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs). pp. 144 - 145.〕 Hugh Fraser the Lord Lovat, chief of Clan Fraser of Lovat, was the uncle of one of the warring claimants, Ranald Galda (the stranger), whose cause he supported.〔 Lovat with over four hundred of his best men joined up with the Earl of Huntly, chief of Clan Gordon, who was the Lieutenant of the North.〔 They intended to crush the MacDonalds and make Ranald the chief.〔 The combined Fraser and Gordon force marched to Inverlochy, in Lochaber and they successfully established Ranald's control over Moidart by taking Castle Tioram.〔
