Battle of Inverurie (1308)

The Battle of Inverurie, also known as the Battle of Barra, was fought in the north-east of Scotland and was a victory for the Scottish king Robert Bruce over his chief domestic enemy, John Comyn, 3rd Earl of Buchan. Though part of the wider Wars of Scottish Independence, it is more properly viewed as an episode in a brief but bitter civil war.

The Battle of Inverurie was fought in 1308 between Scottish King Robert Bruce and John Comyn, 3rd Earl of Buchan, in Aberdeenshire. Bruce's victory weakened Comyn's influence and strengthened royal authority in northern Scotland during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
