January 14th winter photograph of the North Inch, Perth, Scotland. The Battle of the North Inch, also known as the Battle of the Clans, was a staged battle between the Chattan Confederation and the Clan Kay in September 1396. Thirty men were selected to represent each side in front of spectators that included King Robert III of Scotland and his court, on land that is now the North Inch park in Perth, Scotland. The Chattans killed all but one of their opponents at a cost of nineteen deaths on their own side, and were awarded the victory. It is not clear who they were fighting, it may have been their traditional enemies Clan Cameron or it may have been Clan Davidson, in an internal dispute for precedence in the Chattan line of battle in future campaigns against the Camerons.
