The Battle of Tannach (Blare Tannie or Blar-Tannie, Scottish Gaelic: Tannach Moor) was a Scottish clan battle fought about 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Wick, in the far north of Scotland. It was fought between men of the Clan Keith and Clan Mackay from Strathnaver against men of the Clan Gunn and possibly their allies the Clan Oliphant and Clan Sutherland from Caithness. The date is uncertain, it was probably in 1464^[1] but may have been in 1438.
