The Battle of Corrichie was fought in 1590 between the forces of Alexander, 1st Lord Gordon, and the Marquess of Huntly, leading to Gordon's victory and his emergence as a dominant figure in north-eastern Scotland. The battle marked a shift in regional power and secured Gordon's influence over the area.
