The Inheritance
“Upon his arrival, he was informed by one Alexander McDonald that he should go back home, since the clans wouldna be coming. His Majesty informed him that he was already home, and has nay intentions of leaving.
The decision was made to march to Glenfinnan, where His Majesty raised his standard and anxiously awaited the clans, hoping that the dire predictions of McDonald had been inaccurate. It took a few days, but they began to arrive. We were joined by the Clan of Ranald, the MacDonells ...of Glengarry, the MacDonalds of Keppoch, Frasers, Grants and most of Clan Cameron. There were roughly 1,200 men by the time we turned our steps toward Edinburgh, and His Majesty declared himself King James VIII. More men kept arriving as we marched south and our numbers swelled to 3,000. The British, under the command of Sir John Hope, dinna engage us and we marched on. The first battle finally took place at Prestonpans two days ago. It was an easy victory, as we snuck up on the English and came at them out of the mist. There were few casualties on our side, and everyone was in fine spirits. Our “beloved”MoreLess
