Summary
Ormaclete Castle on fire.
Ormaclete Castle burned to the ground on the night of the Battle of Sheriffmuir. It was thought to have started when servants were cooking venison for the chief's return. Some suspected that his wife started the fire. A seer foresaw that the chief had been killed. He was killed by a MacCormick, who was fighting on his own side.
