The Keiths , mistrusting their own forces , sent to Angus Mackay of Strathnaver ( the son of Neil Wasse ) , entreating him to come to their aid , whereunto he easily yielded ; so Angus Mackay , accompanied with John Mor MacIan - Riabhaich , went into Caithness with a band of men , and invaded that country . Then did the inhabitants of Caithness assemble in all haste , and met the Strathnaver men and the Keiths at a place in Caithness called Blair - tannie .
