The burial given by the Macleods to their enemies who fell on that occasion was different from that which the highlanders generally give to brave opponents. The bodies it is said were ranged in a line by the side of a stone wall which stood near the scene of conflict and the wall thrown down upon them. Vide Statistical Account. |
