The Battle of Raith is said to have been fought in 596 AD to the west of present day Kirkcaldy. An invading force of Angles defeated an alliance of Scots, Britons and Picts under King Áedán mac Gabráin of Dál Riata.
This may be the battle mentioned in the Book of Aneirin in Y Gododdin as Catraeth (although there are other candidates), cath being Gaelic for battle or fight.
