As Cumberland's post-Culloden forces closed in from south and west, Lord Loudon reorganised his government forces in the north and advanced back through Easter Ross toward Inverness. At Dingwall, Loudon's forces encountered Jacobite MacKenzie and Munro clan remnants who had not yet submitted. A skirmish occurred as government forces pressed through the town. The MacKenzies of Seaforth — heavily committed at Glenshiel in 1719 and Culloden in 1746 — had their lands around Dingwall and resisted government advances before the chiefs submitted. Dingwall became the focal point for government control of Easter Ross in the weeks after Culloden.
