Battle of
Falkirk
ARRIVES AT GLASGOW
|
| The division under Lord George Murray, after
halting a day at Moffat, where, being Sunday, his men heard sermon in different parts of
the town from the episcopal ministers who accompanied them, proceeded by Douglas and
Hamilton, and entered Glasgow on Christmas Day. On the evening of 26th the prince also
marched into Glasgow on foot at the head of the clans. Here he resolved to halt and
refresh his men for a few days after their arduous march, and to provide them with
clothing, of which they stood greatly in need. In passing through Douglas and Lesmahago,
the Highlanders pillaged and burnt some houses, in revenge for the capture of Macdonald of
Kinlochmoidart, who, in his way south from the Highlands, had been seized on Brokencross
moor, near Lesmahago, by the country people, headed by a student of divinity named
Linning, and carried to Edinburgh castle. |
