Battle of
Falkirk
HIGHLAND ARMY
REINFORCED
|
| While the siege was going on, the forces in
the north under Lord Strathallan and Lord John Drummond began to arrive at Stirling. By
these reinforcements the prince's army was increased to 9,000 men, all in the highest
spirits. The Macdonalds, the Camerons, and the Stuarts, were now twice as numerous as they
were when the Highland army entered England, and Lord Ogilvy had got a second battalion,
under the command of Sir James Kinloch, as lieutenant-colonel, much stronger than the
first. The Frasers, the Mackintoshes, and Farquharsons, were reckoned 300 men each, and in
addition to these, the Earl of Cromarty, and his son, Lord MacLeod, had also brought up
their men. |
