"This took place on 4 August 1688 and was the last inter-clan battle fought in Scotland."

Interesting, I wonder if they mean a "purely" interclan battle, as the battling in Scotland continued for about 50 more years and are those considered "clan vs government" battles.

That I think would be correct (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong).
After all in the later, though you had clans on both sides, it was essentially a rebellion/rebellions against the ruling government & it's forces, not mere clan -vs- clan only.

There was a near thing of it in 1734 between the Macgregors & a combined Maclaren / Appin Stewart force over a land dispute. However, due to the Gregors being out numbered & wishing to avoid considerable casualties, Rob Roy challenged other side to a one on one duel. This was his last battle & he lost to a much younger Alasdair Stewart, thus a clan -vs- clan war was avoided.
