¶STRAMYULLOCH, n. A battle, broil, shindy (Gall. 1824 MacTaggart Gallov. Encycl. 439).
[MacTaggart construes this as two words stram yulloch, whatever that may be supposed to mean, and connects with Stramash, but if the word is genuine at all, it may be due to some misunderstanding of Stramullyoch above.]You may wish to vary the format shown below depending on the citation style used.
