Name
editThere doesn't seem to be a consistent name for this, I can find multiple sources for Battle of Littleferry, Battle of the Little Ferry and Battle of Golspie, but it seems to be more associated with the ferry than Golspie, even if the hills above Golspie were key to it. So I've just gone for the modern name of the ferry - I'm not that fussed either way, as long as it's not Bonar! There's a fair bit about it on Google Books if you use the various names as search terms, or just "Ensign Mackay". It needs a lot more work, I just wanted to fix the obviously wrong things, but it really needs a complete rewrite. Le Deluge (talk) 07:28, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- I noticed a while back when working on the B of Culloden article, a reference to what i thought must have been this battle (i wasn't sure then). No hint on a suitable name though. "However, a further 172 of the Earl of Cromartie's men were taken prisoner by Loyalists in a neat little action at Dunrobin on the day before in order to make up the official total of 326 subsequently quoted in Cumberland's despatch".Reid, Stuart (2002). Culloden Moor 1746, The Death Of The Jacobite Cause. Campaign series #106. Osprey Publishing. ISBN 0-8417-8412-4. I'll just plug in 172 prisoners into the infobox.--Celtus (talk) 07:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, I've seen one or two references to "Battle of Dunrobin", although it's not a common name. On further reading, "Skirmish at Golspie" might be second choice, but Littleferry seems fine for now. Le Deluge (talk) 12:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
