Scottish clan battle fought in the 1480s on the Tarbat peninsula, in Easter Ross
This article is about the battle of the 1480s between the Scottish clans of Ross and Mackay. For the battle of the 11th century that was known as the Battle of Tarbat Ness, see Tarbat Ness.
The Battle of Tarbat was a Scottish clan battle fought in the 1480s on the Tarbat peninsula, in Easter Ross. The Clan Ross cornered a raiding party of Clan Mackay near the village of Portmahomack and put many of them to the sword. The survivors sought sanctuary in the nearby church but the Rosses set fire to it, killing all inside. The Mackays took revenge for this outrage in the subsequent Battle of Aldy Charrish.
