At the battle of Cullodeon (April 16th, 1746) William Chisholm, was flag-bearer of the Clan Chisholm. He fought long and bravely; and even after the retreat had become general, he rallied and led his clansmen again and again to the charge. A body of the Chisholms ultimately sought shelter in a barn, which was soon surrounded by hundreds of the soldiers of the Royal Army, but William Chisholm cut his way through them with his sword until he was shot in the back by some Englishmen. His widow, Christiana Fergusson, a native of the parish of Contin, Ross-shire, where her father was a blacksmith, composed a beautiful lament for him in Gaelic, "Cumha do dh' Uilleam Siosal,' which is still popular in the Highlands today.
