Battle of Invernahavon
A.D. [Anno Domini] 1386
Battle of Invernahavon.
Invernahavon, - Battle between the Catanic and Camerones -
The ocasion of this battle is detailed in the Manuscript History of the family of MacKintosh as follows;-
The lands of the MacKintosh in Lochaber being possessed by the Cameron's, the rents were seldom levied ex-
cept by force and In battle, the Camerons irritated by the poinding of their Cattle resolved to maKe reprisals and Marching
into Badenoch about four hundred strong, Commanded by Charles McGilony; MacKintosh informed of this, in haste called his clan
together. The MacKintoshs, Macphersons & Davidsons soon Made a force superior to their enemies, but an unseasonable difference
was nearly proving fatal to them. It was agreed by all that MacKintosh; Captain of the Clan Chattan should Command the Centre of
the Army, but Cluny & Invernahavon Contended about the Command of the right wing; Cluny Claimed it as Chief of the Ancient Clan
Chattan of which the Davidsons of Invernahavon were but a branch; Invernahavon pleaded, that to him as the oldest branch
the right hand belonged by the Custom of Scottish Clans. The Contest Continued Until the enemy drew nigh & the MacKintosh as Umpire
decided in favour of Invernahavon. The Macphersons in whose Country they were met & who were as Numberous as the MacKintoshes and
Davidsons Combined, being greatly offended withdrew as spectators. The Conflict was very sharp. By the Superior Number of the
Camerons Many of the MacKintoshes & all the Davidsons were Cut off. The Macphersons Could no longer endure to see their brave
friends overpowered. They rushed in on the Camerons & soon gave them a total defeat. The few that escaped; with their leader; were
pursued from Invernahavon (the place of battle) three Miles above Ruthven in Badenoch over the River Spey & Charles McGilony was
Killed on a hill on Glenbancher, which is called Cor[ ]. i.e. Charles' Hill.
