THE BATTLE OF
CRAIG CAILLOCH

1441

Cameron of Lochiel's Own Website

Clan Mackintosh, at the instigation of Alexander, Lord of the Isles, began to invade and raid the Cameron lands.  A sanguinary conflict took place in this year at Craig Cailloch between Clan Cameron and the Mackintoshes in which MacKintosh's second son, Lachlan "Badenoch" was wounded and Gillichallum, his brother, killed.  This was soon after followed by additional Mackintosh raids, in which Cameron lands were harried.  It is said by Mackintosh historians that Donald Dubh once more fled to Ireland at this point, although this is not recorded in Cameron history.
