An episode in Scottish inter-clan warfare: the Battle of Dryfe Sands (two miles west of Lockerbie) in 1593, in which Clan Johnstone fought Clan Maxwell -- an overwhelming Johnstone victory, with nearly all Maxwell participants being killed. The battle was subsequently dubbed the "Lockerbie Lick". There was some century-and-a-half later, in the 1745 Jacobite rising, another "nicknamed" military engagement, fairly small in the grand scheme of such things (though Dryfe Sands would not have seemed thus, to the luckless Maxwells): the Jacobites' easy capture of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire -- which their side came to refer to as the "Canter of Coatbridge".
