Battle of the North Inch

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I am afraid, Rathdown, that there is no belief in the Davidsons as major participants in this battle, no matter the tales of the 19C and the arguments of a writer or two in the mid-20C.

Or indeed, those writers mentioned by your good self, who published in the early 1900s. I fear that the scholarship in this matter will always be somewhat partisan, but then such generally is the history of Scotland. Who actually took part in the Barrier Battle of Perth will probably be argued until Kingdom Come... with all contenders passionately citing their sources as irrefutable.

I agree that no one can say with certainty who the victor was on the 28th of September, 1396; I suspect that both sides fought until exhausted and then left the field. As was (and still is) the case in the Highlands, both sides probably returned home as victors-- Chiefly pride and dignity would have it no other way.
