[edit] Shirts and such.
I've expanded this piece to give far more detail of the battle and the general political context. It should not really be known as the Battle of the Shirts, but this misunderstanding is long established and now probably impossible to break.
Kinloch-Lochy should not really be described as 'one of the bloodiest' battles in Highland History. Compared with Harlaw or Culloden it was very minor indeed. Rcpaterson 04:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- I've always heard it referred to as Blar-na-leine (with proper accents and such), and I've grown up a Fraser. Thank you for expanding it; it looks much better! I believe calling it "one of the bloodiest" is fitting, because of the percentage of combatants killed. User:Canaen
