Just as you replied I found this page:

With a photo of the cairn & this info:
"Glen Roy has one more claim to fame. A stone cairn half a mile north of Roybridge remembers the nearby site of the Battle of Mulroy. This took place on 4 August 1688 and was the last inter-clan battle fought in Scotland. The memorial notes that the MacDonells of Keppoch defeated the Mackintoshes."
If at all possible I'd love to see a close-up, of sorts, of the plaque upon the cairn.
Thanks again!
When I have remembered how to post pictures, I will post some pictures for you in the picture section--watch this space,but don't hold your breath!The MacDonells of Keppoch were a warlike bunch and came to he fore again in 1745 in the first action of the revolution at High Bridge,only 4 miles or so from the battle of Mulroy.Picture will also be enclosed.
