1689:
John Graham of Claverhouse, better known to some as "Bonnie Dundee" - and to others as "Bluidy Clavers" because of his oppression of Covenanters - led an army of Jacobite Highlanders to victory against King William's army of largely Lowland Scots led by Maj Gen Hugh MacKay of Scourie - a Highlander - at the Battle of Killiecrankie.
