Sir Robert Gordon, from his book the A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland: This Angus-Dow Mackay fought against Donald, Lord of the Isles at Dingwall in Ross, because that Donald had molested some friends which Angus-Dow had in that country.

At this conflict Angus Dow was overcome and taken prisoner, and his brother Rory-Gald, with divers others, were slain.

[3] Robert Mackay gives an account of the battle in his book History of the House and Clan of Mackay (1829), quoting from the A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland by Sir Robert Gordon: Donald of the Isles, says Sir Robert, conceived such indignation and displeasure at his being deprived of the earldom, that he raised all the power of the Isles, and invaded and spoiled the country of Ross, where he was met by Angus-Dow Mackay, some of whose friends he had injured; a severe conflict ensued, when Mackay, overpowered by numbers, was overcome, his brother Roderick slain, and himself taken prisoner.

[7] According to Norman Macrae, The Eagle Stone near Dingwall was placed there by the Munros while marching against Donald of Islay, Lord of the Isles in 1411.
