Old Photograph St Duthac's Collegiate Church Tain Scotland
Old photograph of St Duthac's Collegiate Church in Tain in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. This Scottish church is said to have been built by William, Earl of Ross, who died 1371. In 1487, King James III had it converted into a Collegiate Church. James IV and V made pilgrimages to it. William died without male issue. The earldom of Ross and the chiefship of Clan Ross were then separated. The chiefship of the Clan Ross passed to Earl William's brother Hugh Ross of Rariches, 1st of Balnagown, who was granted a charter, in 1374, for the lands of Balnagowan. The earldom of Ross passed through a female line, and that later led to dispute between two rival claimants, the Lord of the Isles and the Duke of Albany. This resulted in the Battle of Harlaw in 1411 where the Clan Ross fought as Highlanders in support of the Lord of the Isles against an army of Scottish Lowlanders who supported the Duke of Albany,
