[2] The feud between the Clan Cameron and Chattan Confederation continued for many years after and in 1396 the Battle of the North Inch took place, which was watched by Robert III of Scotland and his whole court.

[2] Andrew's son, Euan Macpherson supported the royalist cause during the Scottish Civil War and fought for James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose.

[7] Chief Euan Macpherson of Cluny was a notable leader in the Jacobite rising of 1745 and fought at the Clifton Moor Skirmish.

In 1812, he was obliged to admit having slandered John Macpherson, the tacksman and improving farmer at Cluny Mains, while 'heated with liquor' at a regimental dinner in Inverness.

In 1817 Colonel Duncan was succeeded as clan chief by his son Ewen Macpherson (Old Cluny) (1804 - 1885), who derived an increasing proportion of his income from shooting tenancies.

In 1832, Ewen married into the Davidsons of Tulloch, a wealthy Caribbean slave-owning family, the £33,000 his wife brought to the marriage contributing to improvements to the castle and estate.
