The year of God 1597, there happened an accident in Ross, at a fair in
Lagavraid, which had almost put Ross and all the neighbouring counties in
a combustion. The quarrel did begin betwixt John Macgillichallum
(brother to the Laird of Raasay), and Alexander Bane (brother to Duncan
Bane of Tulloch). The Munroes did assist Alexander Bane, and the Clan
Kenzie took part with John Macgillichallum, who was there slain, with
John Mac-Murdo Mac-William, and three others of the Clan Kenzie.
Alexander Bane escaped but there were killed on his side John Munro of
Culcraggie, with his brother, Hutcheon Munro, and John Munro Robertson.
Hereupon the Clan Kenzie and the Munroes began to employ the aid and
assistance of their friends from parts to invade one another; but they
were in some measure reconciled by the mediation of indifferent friends
and neighbours.
