in 1370 the battle of invernahavon took place between the chattan confederation and the clan cameron. there was a dispute between the macphersons and another clan of the confederation, the clan davidson over who should take the right wing in the battle. the clan mackintosh, whose chiefs were also chiefs of the chattan confederation favoured the davidsons and as a result the macphersons left the field of battle. the clan cameron took advantage of this situation and gained the upper hand, however the macphersons were eventually coerced back into the battle and the camerons were defeated. the feud between the clan cameron and chattan confederation continued for many years after and in 1396 the battle of the north inch took place, which was watched by robert iii of scotland and his whole court.
