Gen. Hugh Mackay is given the protectorship of
Scotland. At the first
battle of the pass at Killiecrankie, the government forces are
defeated. Then Gen. Hugh Mackay marches through the pass of
Killiecrankie. They find John Graham (Bonnie Dundee) and his army of
Highlanders waiting on the high ground.
Gen. Hugh Mackay arranged the regiment in 3 ranks and shortly
before sunset the Highlanders attacked in the Highland Charge.
All of the men in the newly raised regiment gave way and ran
away. Only 2 regiments
stood firm, the Gen.'s own Scots-Dutch and Leven's Regiment now known
as the K.O.S.B.. In the
moment of victory, the Highlander's leader, "Bonnie Dundee"
is mortally wounded. Gen.
Hugh Mackay gathers the remnants of the army and marches off the
field.
By 1690 the peace in Scotland is kept and William
of Orange campaigns in Ireland and in 1707 there is an Act of Union
between England and Scotland.
