Ewen Cameron, chief of Clan Cameron was joined by Alexander MacDonald of Lochalsh, Clan Ranald of Garmoran and
Lochaber and the Chattan Confederation. The Chattan Confederation must have made peace with their enemies the Clan Cameron. Together the clans went on a raid into the county of Ross-shire. During the raid they clashed with the Clan Mackenzie of
Kintail. They then advanced from Lochaber to
Badenoch where they were even joined by the Clan Mackintosh. They then proceeded to Inverness where they stormed
Inverness Castle and Mackintosh placed a garrison in it. The Macdonald Lords of Lochalsh appear at this time to have had strong claims upon the clans to follow them in the field. The MacDonalds of Lochalsh were superiors under the chief of
Clan Donald,
Domhnall Dubh, who claimed the title of the
Lord of the Isles, which had been forfeited to the crown by his grandfather. ==References==
