Feuds between the Mackays and the Gordon Earls of Sutherland: Feuds between the Mackays and cadet branches of the de Moravia/Sutherland Earls of Sutherland: The Battle of Garbharry was a Scottish clan battle fought in the year 1555.

This has been recognised as the area around Garvery Hill, including Big and Little Garvery Burn, just south of Morven (the Anglicised name from A' Mhòr Beinn / Beinn-Mhòr, meaning 'The Big Hill''), where presumably some of the soldiers drowned.

The Earl of Sutherland confronted Iye Mackay in Strathbrora, forcing him to surrender himself to imprisonment in Edinburgh.

[2] The Clan Sutherland then assembled a force under MacJames, the Terell of the Doil and James MacWilliam and set off in pursuit.

[1] According to the account given in Conflicts of the Clans, the Sutherlands overtook the Mackay of Strathnaver men at the foot of the hill called Beinn-mhor, in Berriedale, and invaded them beside the water of Garbharry, where then ensued a cruel conflict, fought with great obstinacy.
