The last significant clan battle fought in Caithness — between the Sinclairs and a force sent by the Earl of Caithness (Campbell of Glenorchy, who had acquired the bankrupt Sinclair earldom). The Sinclairs defeated the Campbell-backed earl and recovered their earldom. The Battle of Altimarlach is one of the last examples of traditional clan warfare in the far north.
