OS1/9/17/27 Site of a CONFLICT between the Macgregors and Colquhouns A.D. 1603 Site of Battle betwixt the Macgregors and Colquhouns A.D. 1602 Fullarton's Gazetteer New Statistical Account J. Macfarlane Esqr., Faslane D. Macfarlane Strone Montague Martin Esqr. J. Macfarlane, Durland Revd. [Reverend] J. Laurie Fogo, Row 012 There is no place which can be marked as the exact Site of this Battle but it is supposed to have taken place in a large flat piece of ground near "Auchingaich" which is derived from the Gaelic, Achadh an Chatha signifying the Battlefield. According to tradition, the Macgregors after defeating the Colquhouns pursued them to the foot of "Glen Fruin." "It ('Glen Fruin') has attained considerable historical notoriety from its having been the scene, in 1602, of a desperate conflict between Sir Humphrey Colquhoun of Luss the Chief of that surname and Alexander Macgregor Chief of the Clan Gregor. Colquhoun was the assailant at the head of a body of 500 foot and 300 horse, while Macgregor stood on the defensive with only about 200 of his clansmen. The contest was keen and ended remarkably in the total defeat of the Colquhouns, no fewer than about 200 of them being put hors de combat." Fullarton's Gazetteer "Colquhoun of Luss arrived in this country just as it had been invaded by Alister Macgregor at the head of 400 men, Colquhoun, rousing his vassals, and being assisted by some of the neighbouring lairds and a number of Dumbarton burghers, came up with the marauders at the farm of "Strone" near the head of Glen Fruin. A desperate combat gave victory to the Macgregors" (New Statistical Account) over [continued on page 28]

OS1/9/17/28 [Page] 28 [Continued from page 27] "One of these murderous conflicts was of sufficient importance to merit a place in the history of the Lennox and was fought in Glen Fruin in February 1603. The older accounts of this transaction bear such marks of partiality as to be little worthy of credit, and the traditions of the district lead us into great confusion." New Stat Acct [Statistical Account] "At that time, the Macgregors and Colquhouns appear to have been desirous of terminating their feud by a friendly conference, but with characteristic imprudence they both made secret preparations to follow up that conference with measures of active hostility, if its results were not satisfactory. As not the slightest record relating to this conference has been preserved, it is more than doubtful if it ever took place. - All that can be safely affirmed of the occurrence is that on the 7th of February, 1603, both parties fully prepared for hostilities, met in the Valley of the Fruin, or Glen of Sorrow - a name singularly suggestive of the events of the day, as the victory proved not more fatal to the vanquished than the victors". (Irvings History of Dumbartonshire) "This glean has attained considerable notoriety from its having been the scene, in 1602, of a desperate con- flict, in consequence of the renewal of some old quarrels between Sir Humphrey Colquhoun of Luss, the Chief of that surname, and Alexander Macgregor Chief of the Clan Gregor".

Laurie Fogo, Row 012 "Traces of another Castle called Shandon are discoverable on the hill side above the modern Mansion house of Shandon" * The remains of the mound on which the castle stood are pretty entire though no trace of masonry can be found. On its east side is a moat of considerable width and partly of natural formation. On the west side the declivity is very slight and broken apparently from digging a sand pit in its side. It is by some called "Shandon" which is a corruption of Sean Dun, an old fort.
OS1/9/17/33 [Page] 33 Co. [County] Dumbarton -- Row Parish * Its name "The Old Dun" would lead to the supposition, that it was a still more ancient stronghold than the Castle of Faslane. But tradition has handed down no memorial regarding it to the "present time" nor have any relics been found among the ruins to lead to any information concerning it.

The parish of Row is about twelve miles in length and has an average breadth of fully four miles. It is bounded on the north by a narrow strip of Arrochar and a portion of Luss parish, on the west and south west by the Gareloch, on the south east by Cardross, and on the East by Luss. It was not till the middle of the seventeenth century that Row was formed into an independent parish, by the separation of land from Rosneath, on the one hand, and Cardross on the other. The land detached from the former parish lay principally on the east side of the Gareloch, and that from the latter, the portion adjacent to its present northern boundary, known as the valley of the Fruin. In 1620, parliament was petitioned to transfer the Church of Rosneath to the lands of Ardinconnell opposite, but instead of this the Commissioners for the [continued on page 114]

As a whole the parish of Row has benefited largely from the modern tendency of City Capitalists and others to possess sea coast residences, and it would be difficult to point out in any other place a greater number of elegant marine mansions than are situated within the space bounded on the one side by the lofty towers of Ardencaple, and on the other by the ornate mansion of Shandon". (Irving's History) "By far the greater part of the parish is hilly and mountainous. The main ridge of hills begins to ascend gradually from the shore of the Clyde in the south, and stretches continuously in a northerly direction throughout the whole length of the parish. With the exception of Glenfruin, which is capable of being cultivated much more extensively than it is, the greater part of the land capable of bearing crops to any advantage is ether constantly or occasionally under cultivation. This, however, bears a very inconsiderable proportion to the whole extent of the parish" (New Stat Act. [Statistical Account])
