I've always thought the Battle of the North Inch would make a good part in a film, with all those hand-picked Highlanders chopping bits off each other. An item of folklore (really is folklore this time, Ted Crocker ), which was associated with the battle was that the moment battle was joined, Henry the blacksmith raised his bow and let fly an arrow which felled an enemy. Soon after, all hell let loose and the hard-pressed MacIntosh / MacPherson chief noticed Henry skulking behind the line, sitting and watching the fight. He implored Henry’s help, whereupon Henry stated he had already killed his one of the thirty enemy and was now watching the show. A bit further remonstration saw Henry back in the fight again with his sword.
Nice story (and a happy ending) !
