During the Glencairn Rising of 1653-54, royalist Highland forces ambushed an English supply column in the Drumochter Pass area near Dalnaspidal. The remote mountain pass between Perthshire and Badenoch was a key supply route for English garrisons in the northern Highlands and a natural ambush site. The action disrupted English logistical operations and demonstrated royalist control of the Highland passes.
