6 jun 1247 ano - Alexander II in the Hebrides.

Descrição:

He demanded that Ewan surrender to him Cairnburgh Castle. Ewan refused saying that in only the previous year of 1248 he had done feudal homage to the King of Norway for his island possessions. "No man can serve two masters!" exclaimed the angry King Alexander II. "One can quite well serve two masters provided the masters are not enemies" was Ewan's quiet reply. Soon afterwards Alexander II died at Horseshoe Bay on July 8, 1249 and so the invasion was cancelled.
