The New Statistical Account in speaKing of the battle at Arrdanes
states, "Was this the battle in which Indulf, the Scottish King, was
slain, A.D. 968? It took place "in Littore Boince", yet it may be fairly
doubted whether Cullen, also within the district of Boyne, has not a preferable
claim to the honour of having been the locality of that battle. More probably this was one
of the engagements under Malcolm II, contemporaneous with those at Gamrie and
Cruden. The connexion of the patron saint of the parish with that King, and the Known
taste of the latter for building churches, in acKnowledgement of his victories, and restoring
these wasted in his wars, favours the supposition, that the church of this parish, ded-
icated to St Brandon, had owed its existence in restoration to his liberality
in connexion with such an event as is supposed in its neighbourhood."
