Siege of Inverness (1689)
The siege of Inverness that took place in 1689 was carried out by the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch, a Highland Scottish clan against the people of the city of Inverness. In 1665 the people of Inverness had rioted seriously injuring a number of men of the Clan MacDonald. Twenty four years later in 1689 the feud was re-ignited and the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch laid siege to the city with 800 to 900 men.
