The Battle of Glen Fruin: The day 200 clansmen were slaughtered near Loch Lomond
Fought near Loch Lomond on this day in 1603, the Battle of Glen Fruin left up to 200 men dead as Clan Gregor took on their wealthy and influential foes in Clan Colquhoun.
The aftermath of the clash, which was supposedly fought on a large flat piece of ground near Auchingaich, was just as punishing.
It launched an unprecedented campaign against the MacGregors, led by the King, with the name banned in Scotland for a total of 150 years.
