ABSTRACT

The few chieftains who had remained on their estates during the suspense before the battle, thinking that if the issue proved unfavourable, they should be safest amongst their native glens, now came with numerous trains to greet the return of their victorious Regent. The ladies brought forth their most splendid apparels, and the houses of Stirling were hung with tapestry, to hail with due respect the benefactor of the land.
