A Tumult in Ross in 1597.

The quarrel did begin betwixt John Macgillichallum (brother to the Laird of Raasay), and Alexander Bane (brother to Duncan Bane of Tulloch). The Munroes did assist Alexander Bane, and the Clan Kenzie took part with John Macgillichallum, who was there slain, with John MacMurdo Mac-William, and three others of the Clan Kenzie.

from all parts to invade one another; but they were in some measure reconciled by the mediation of indifferent friends and neighbours.
