The MacKays of Strathnaver and the Earls of Sutherland were persistent rivals for control of the far north. The Sutherlands attempted to extend their jurisdiction over MacKay territory in the early sixteenth century. The MacKays resisted fiercely, maintaining their independence in Strathnaver. The feud continued episodically for over a century.
