After Lulach was killed by treachery at Essie in 1058, his supporters in Moray continued to resist Malcolm III. The Prophecy of Berchan and other sources hint at further fighting in the Moray area as Malcolm worked to extinguish the remaining Macbeth-Lulach line loyalists. Ach na Fearna is traditionally associated with one such engagement in which Moray men attempted to avenge Lulach. The resistance was ultimately crushed but the Moray line through Lulach would continue to pose a dynastic threat into the twelfth century.
