Alexander Mackenzie says that a "disturbance" took place at Logie-Riach, on the banks of the river Conon on 4 February 1597. It was fought between the Mackenzies against the Bains and Munros, in which several of the latter were slain. Mackenzie states that a "difference" arose between John MacGilliechallum brother of MacLeod, Laird of Raasay and the Bains about the lands of Torridon. Bain attended the Candlemas market at Logie with a large following of armed men which included Bains and a considerable number of Munros. Mackenzie states that John MacGilliechallum came to the fair too and while he was buying something Bain came up behind him and without warning struck him on the head with a sword killing him instantly. Mackenzie goes on to say that one of the Mackenzies tried to interfere but no sooner had he opened his mouth that he was run through the body by one of the Bains. Mackenzie states that the war cry of the Clan Mackenzie was raised and the Bains and Munros then fled followed by a band of Mackenzies, who slaughtered everyone they overtook. Mackenzie goes on to say that two Mackenzies named Ian Dubh MacCoinnich Mhic Mhurchaidh and Ian Gallda Mac Fhionnla Dhuibh having learned of the cause of the Munro's flight slew no less than thirteen of them between Logie and the wood of Millechaich. Mackenzie concludes that most of the Bains were killed and that the Munros lost no less than fifty men. The latter however is not stated in either Sir Robert Gordon's or John Mackenzie of Applecross's 17th century manuscripts.
