The far north of Scotland in 1715 was a patchwork of competing clan loyalties. After Inverness fell to the Jacobites, pro-Jacobite northern clans — including Frasers, Mackenzies and Gordons of Sutherland — attempted to extend control into Easter Ross and the Dingwall area. They faced resistance from the staunchly pro-government Munros and Rosses who held their own territory. These northern skirmishes were too remote to affect the main campaign but kept significant Jacobite forces occupied away from the critical Stirling front.
