Tour Scotland Photograph Cottages Portmahomack Moray Firth

Tour Scotland photograph of cottages by the beach in Rockfield, Portmahomack, Moray Firth, Scotland. There are the remains of an Iron Age broch a little to the west of the village. Finds of elaborate early Christian carved stones dating to the 8th and 9th centuries, including one with an inscription, in and around the churchyard, had long suggested that Portmahomack was the site of an important early church in the sixth or seventh century. The Battle of Tarbat was a Scottish clan battle fought in the 1480s on the Tarbat peninsula, in Easter Ross. The Clan Ross cornered a raiding party of Clan Mackay near the village of Portmahomack and put many of them to the sword. The survivors sought sanctuary in the nearby church but the Rosses set fire to it, killing all inside. The Mackays took revenge for this outrage in the subsequent Battle of Aldy Charrish.
