Fierce Battle of Harlaw of 1411 to be remembered

Wreaths will be laid at the Battle of Harlaw monument
The 600th anniversary of a famous Aberdeenshire battle is set to be remembered.
The Battle of Harlaw was a clash between Scottish clans which was fought on 24 July, 1411, just north of Inverurie.
Hundreds of men died in the fierce combat.
A service will be held at the Kirk of St Nicholas in Aberdeen before wreaths are laid at the Battle of Harlaw monument at Chapel of Garioch.
===============
One hopes that 50,000 Hielanmen will be seen marching there for the occasion!
