Battle of Dingwall

The Battle of Dingwall was a minor battle of the Scottish Wars of Sovereignty fought near Dingwall, Scotland. The battle saw the loyalist army of Malcom McKenzie defeated by the rebel clansmen of William Jamieson.

Battle
After a series of English forts were lost in the Highalnds, the McKenzie Clan decided to officialy embrace English allegiance and gathered an army of clansmen and border horse at Dingwall to block any attempted rebel attack to Inverness. However, Jamieson managed to slip his small army passed the McKenzie scouts, and the two sides fought on the morning of September 24th. Although the loyalists had some border horse, they were surrounded by Jamiesons clansmen and destroyed. Although details were scarce, it is recorded that McKenzie was killed in the clash.

Aftermath
Many of the McKenzies defected to the rebels after being captured, and a few days after the battle a host of Sutherland clansmen led by the massive Rickard Sutherland reinforced the rebels, who besieged Inverness.
