Two swords and a stirrup and spur were found 18 ins below the surface by Mr James Buchan, Arnprior, in 1858, while making a road over a marshy place near the wood known as The Firs, above Arnmore, close to what is called Bloody Mires.
These relics may go towards proving the tradition that a battle was fought at Bloody Mires, to the NE of Loch Leggan, about the year 1534, on account of a dispute between the inhabitants of the baronies of Dasher and Arnprior.
