County of Sutherland -- Parish of Reay
"Halladus is said by some to have been killed in Battle, in that part of the Parish of Reay which lies in Sutherland, and which is called Strathalladale. It is a vally ten miles in length, divided into two sides by a river called the river of Halladale, running from the south to the north, and falling into the north Sea at Torr. About the middle of this Strath, and near a place called Dal-Halladha, the country people shew a spot where, they say a bloody battle was fought between the Scots and Norwegians. It was on the side of a hill on the east side of the river, now covered with Small Cairns or heaps of Stones, where the Slain are supposed to be buried, and there they Say Halladha the King of Lochlin's Son was Slain. Not only so but they also shew the place where he was buried on the opposite side of the River!! The place referred to, is now Called Dalhalvaig The cairns on the east side of the river are shewn on trace, but that on the opposite have been removed and cultivated with the exception of a few in Sheet 20.
