Indeed I would if you wouldn't mind 
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!
