I propose moving this to "Battle of Dalrigh" since this is how the location is now known, it is the name I have seen more often, and it avoids confusion with the better known Dalry in Ayrshire. PatGallacher 19:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. When I saw this article come up ages ago, I contemplated moving it to Battle of Dail Righ (what Barrow calls it), pretty much the same as what you are proposing. If anyone wonders why Dalry is confusing, see Dalry, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 17:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rebel victory?

I suggest that it is somewhat POV to describe this as a rebel victory. Who the rebels are can be a matter of opinion. At the time many people would have seen Bruce as a rebel, against either John Balliol, who many would have regarded as the legitimate king of Scotland, or the English, the de facto government of Scotland at the time.
