| MONUMENT [Clachnaharry] | Monument (On site of Conflict between the Clans Chattan and Munro A.D. 1454 | Mr. George Anderson, Inspector of Poor Mr. Fraser Mackintosh Esqr. Mr. Dallas, Town Clerk |
004 | This monument stands on the rocky face of a hill, close to the village of Clachnaharry and has been erected, by the late Mr. R. Duff Esqr. proprietor of Muirtown, to mark the site of a severe conflict which took place A.D. 1454 between the clans Chattan (Mackintosh) and Munro. It consists of a square pillar, on a similar pedestal, on the top of which is a miniature circular pillar, bearing a gilt figure of Mercury, in the act of blowing a trumpet; possibly in allusion to the watchman's stone (Clach na h-Aire), where a man used to be stationed to sound an alarm on the approach of invaders from Ross-shire. The whole is surrounded by a small circular wall bearing posts and an appropriate iron railing. The north side of the pedestal has cut on it (REGNANTE JACOBO IInd). The south side of the pedestal has cut on it HAS INTERUPES OSSA CONDUNTUR. The west side of the pedestal has cut on it MUNRO The east side of the pedestal has cut on it CLAN CHATTAN. The north side of the capital has "1454" cut on it, and the south side "H.R.D. POSUIT 1821". I have had a good deal of trouble in arriving at the proper date of this conflict as the various accounts, though bearing a general agreement differs very much in some points - the best is that given in the papers of the Mackintosh |
