It was part of the Marian civil war in which the Gordons supported Mary, Queen of Scots and the Forbeses supported her son, James VI of Scotland.[1] BattleOn 10 October 1571, a force of catholic Gordons, under the command of Sir Adam Gordon, was on its way to gain the Suie Road to Edinburgh, to join George Gordon, the Earl of Huntly. They were opposed by a force of Protestant Forbes under the command of "Black Arthur" Forbes, the 6th Lord Forbes's youngest son. The forces met near the White Hill of Tillyangus, where the Gordons were victorious. Black Arthur Forbes was killed. Legend has it that "he stooped down to quench his thirst and one of the Gordons gave him his death blow through an open joint in his armour".[2] ArchaeologyIn about 1800 a large quantity of human bones were found at the site of what are traditionally the burial cairns of the Battle of Tillieangus.[3] References1. ^{{Canmore |num=17720 |desc=Battle of Tillieangus - Battle site |access-date=29 June 2013}} {{Scottish clan battles}}2. ^{{cite book|title=The Earldom of Mar: being a sequel to The Province of Mar, 1943|author=William Douglas Simpson|year=1949|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IoMxAQAAIAAJ&q=%22he+stooped+down+to+quench+his+thirst+and+one+of+the+Gordons%22+-wikipedia&dq=%22he+stooped+down+to+quench+his+thirst+and+one+of+the+Gordons%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-WjkUJbYB4HJ0AWHoYDABg&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAA}} 3. ^{{Canmore |num=17718 |desc=Battle of Tillieangus - Burial Cairns |access-date=29 June 2013}} 4 : Conflicts in 1571|16th-century Scottish clan battles|1571 in Scotland|History of Aberdeenshire |
