In a clan dispute over the post of Ballie of Arbroath, Alexander Lindsay, Master of Crawford, led an army against Alexander Ogilvie of Inverquharity. When the two forces met outside Arbroath, northeast of Dundee, Lindsay’s father, David Earl of Crawford, was killed attempting to prevent fighting. The Ogilvies were routed in the ensuing battle, triggering a prolonged feud.
