Cragan Used By The Scottish In Ireland

The battle cry for the MacDonnell’s of Glengarry was “Cragan an Fhithich” which means “the Raven’s Rock.”  This produces an image in my mind of hundreds of MacDonnells, regimental in their kilts, careening “doon” the glen towards their enemy screeching Cragan an Fhithich.  And of course, with Galloglass and Red Shank warriors bringing up their flanks, waving their Sparths and Claymores, enough to stun their enemies before they hacked them into pieces.
