The MacDougalls had caught Bruce in an ambush at Dalrigh two years earlier and stripped him of the Brooch of Lorn. Bruce took his revenge at the Pass of Brander. The MacDougalls tried the same ambush tactic in the narrows by Loch Awe. Bruce anticipated it and sent archers under James Douglas to outflank the ambushers from above. When the MacDougalls on the hillside came under fire from above, they broke. John of Lorn watched the destruction of his clans power from a galley on the loch below. The victory secured Bruces western flank.
