The Battle of Dalrigh, also known as the Battle of Dail Righ, Battle of Dalry or Battle of Strathfillan, was fought in 1306 between the army of King Robert the Bruce against Clan MacDougall of Argyll, who were allies of Clan Comyn and the English. It took place at the hamlet of Dalrigh (the "King's Field" in the Scottish Gaelic language) near Tyndrum in Perthshire, Scotland (not to be confused with Dalry, Ayrshire).
King Robert the Bruce defeated the Clan MacDougall of Argyll at the Battle of Dalrigh in 1306. The victory weakened Scottish opposition to Bruce's claim to the throne and helped consolidate his position during the early stages of the First War of Scottish Independence.
