In Focus
On a minor
road just two miles north west of the centre of Inverurie stands the
imposing monument erected in 1911 to commemorate the 500th anniversary
of the Battle of Harlaw, fought nearby
on 24 July 1411. The Battle of Harlaw was the culmination of steadily
growing conflict about who had legitimate claim to the powerful
Earldom of Ross, which controlled a vast swathe of northern Scotland
extending from the Isle of Skye to Inverness.
