N: B: The Prince staying at Carlisle
four Days, Mr Hymer, Attorney,
received twenty Guineas for
the Use of his House, though
he furnished Nothing, not so
much as Coal or Candle; &and
every Day he had two Dishes
of Meat at Dinner &and as ma-
ny at Supper for himself &and
his Wife at the Prince’s Charg-
es. — When the Prince hap-
pened to be a Night ôr so in any
Gentleman’s House, the ordi-
nary Custom was to give
five Guineas (at least) of Drink-
money to the Servants.

17 this Night, ^Friday, the Prince slept in Fal-
kirk, the Battle of Falkirk hav-
ing been fought✝ about four o’ Clock
in the Afternoon, when the Prince’s
Army routed General Hawley &and
his Army. Had this Victory been
properly improved, it would have
made a very great Alteration in
Affairs; for Hawley had the Flower
of the English Army under his
Command. But, to tell the Truth,
it was not an easy Matter to pur-
sue the Victory, as dark Night was
coming on. Besides, the Red Coats
so soon gave Way, &and fled with such
Precipitation, that the Highland
Generals had Reason to suspect a
Design in it of leading them into
an Ambuscade, which may be assign-
ed as the principal Reason why the
Prince’s Army did not continue the
Pursuit. Had the Highlanders giv-
en a hearty ChaceChase to the Red Coats,
it is believed, very few of them
would have escaped into EdrEdinburgh. In
this Event, it would not have been
in the Power of the Government
to bring such another Army to the Field.

✝
From ysthis to line 8th of Page 982, I write altoge-
ther for my own Memory, having had yethe Account (as I give
it) of yethe Battle of Falkirk from severals that were engaged

the Misfortune of being made Pri-
soner by a fatal mistake. He hap-
pened to pursue the Enemy farther
than any other Person, and, after
he had walked about a Quarter
of an Hour up &and down amongst
the Enemy’s Field–pieces, a Man
came up to him, &and asked, what
he was doing there? He answer-
ed, “I am diverting my selfmyself, look-
“ing at these Pieces of Cannon.”
To which the foresaid Man replied,
“I would have you, Sir, to take
“Care of your selfyourself; for the Camp-
“bells &and others are rallying at
“the Back of Falkirk to return
“to the Battle.” Upon this the Ma-
jor thought proper to return to his
own Corps, and, in his Way, hap-
pening to Spy a Body of Men at
some Distance in a hollow Ground,
he, through the Dusk of the Even-
ing, imagined them to be Lord
John Drummond’s Regiment &and the
French Picquets. He briskly made up

[in] it. —

This Narrative I had verbatim more than once
[f]rom Major MacDonell’s own Mouth, when in the Castle
of EdrEdinburgh. His other Fellow-prisoners likewise remem-
[b]er the several Particulars of it well as narrated by
[h]imself. It is a common Error (&and in Print too) ytthat his being
[t]aken was owing to his mounting a Dragoon-Horse, qchwhich

up to them with his Sword still
drawn, and passionately spoke
these Words, “Gentlemen, what
“are ye doing, standing here?
“Why don’t ye follow after the
“Dogs, &and pursue them?” Scarce
had he spoke these Words, when
he discovered his Mistake, &and saw
the Body of Men to be Bar-
rel’s Regiment, which had never
been engaged, as indeed they had
not seen the Highlanders at all,
there being a rising Ground be-
twixt the Highland Army &and the
said Regiment. When the Major,
through the fatal Mistake, had
rushed in among them, a Cry
was soon raised, “Here is a Re-
“bel! Here is a Rebel!” The
Major, having advanced so far that
he could not retreat, endeavoured
to screen himself by saying he
was one of their own Campbells,
his white Cockade being so dirty,
with the heavy Rain that had fal-
len &and with the Smoke of the Firing
in time of the Action, that there
was no discovering the Colour of
it. However, the Major did not suc-
ceed in the Stratagem of passing
for a Campbell; for General Husk
(being in Barrel’s Regiment) swore it

was said to run away wtwith him. To contradict ysthis mis-
take is yethe reason why I have so circumstantially given yethe
above Account.

it was easy to discover what he was
by his Sword; the Blade of which
happened to be covered over wtwith
Blood &and Hair. Husk immediately
cried out to shoot the Dog in-
stantly; upon which seven or
eight Musketeers presented their
Pieces to the Major’s Breast to
dispatch him, but LodLord Robert
Ker generously interposed, and
saved his Life by beating down
the Muskets, of which the Major
entertained a most grateful
Sense. At last the Major, being
obliged to surrender his Arms,
said, as he himself was an Officer,
he would chusechoose to deliver up
his Arms to General Husk, be-
cause he appeared to be an Of-
ficer of Dignity; but Husk
swore, he would not do yethe Ma-
jor that Honour; upon which
Lord Robert Ker politely steptstepped
forwards to receive the Major’s
Arms. When the Major was pulling
off his Pistol from the Belt, he
happened to do it with such an
Air, that Husk swore, the Dog
was going to shoot him; to which
the Major replied, “I am more of a
“Gentleman, ^Sir, than to do any such Thing.
“I am only pulling off my Pistol to deliver 982 (982) 1746.

“deliver it up.” — When the Major
at any Time spoke to a Friend a-
bout delivering up his good Clay-
more &and his fine Pistol, he used
to sigh, &and to mention Lord Robert
Ker with great Affection for his
generous &and singular Civilities.

[F]ebryFebruary.
1 Saturday, Early in the Morning the
Prince &and his Army begin their Re-
treat from Stirling, Bannockburn,
&cetc. By an Accident the Church of
St Ninian’s was blown up, there
being a Quantity of Powder lodg-
ed in it. Some Country-people &and
some Highlanders were killed
by the blowing up of the Church.
At Night the Prince lodged in
Drummond-Castle, the Duke of Perth’s

only 20 or 21 Cannon-shot. The Siege was very
[p]oorly managed. There was only one Man killed
[i]n yethe Garrison, &and there were very few wounded. The
Prince lost (at least) 60 or 70 Men in the Trenches
by the firing from the Castle. When the Red Coats
came to Stirling, they went to the Trenches, and,

2 Sunday, the Prince at Fairnton,
Lord John Drummond’s Seat.
This Day the D:Duke of Cumberland
entredentered Stirling about one o’Clock,
&and rode up to the Castle, &and took
a View of the Works, from which
he had received a royal Salute
upon his Approach. A Detach-
ment of his Army had marched
into Stirling the Night before.
He gave Orders to rebuild with
Wood the Arch of Stirling-bridge,
which General Blakeney had
broke down.

3 Monday, the Prince at Fairnton.

4 Tuesday, the Prince at Castle-
Weem, SrSir Robert Menzies’s
House. This Day some Prisoners
in the Castle of Stirling were, by
Cumberland’s Orders, sent off un-
der a Command to the Castle
of EdrEdinburgh. They were taken out of
the Castle of Stirling at nine o’
Clock in the Morning, &and kept stand-
ing on the Street of Stirling till
betwixt 2 and 3 in the Afternoon,
as so many Spectacles to be gazed
at though not one of them had
been ^taken upon, or near, a Field of Bat-
tle. Lord Albemarle coming up to
CapnCaptain Hamilton of Hamilton’s Dra-
goons, who commanded the Party, asked him,

digging up some of the Corpses, did very shocking
Things to them.

him, who these were, that were
placed behind the Front-ranks?
The Captain answered, they were
Prisoners. Then Albemarle, with
a Volley of Oaths, asked, why they
were not tied with Ropes? The
Captain replied, they were Gen-
tlemen. “Gentlemen! said Al-
“bemarle. Damn them for []
“Rebels. Get Ropes, &and rope ymthem
“immediately.”— Captain Hamil-
ton begged Leave to inform him,
that they were taken up only u-
pon Suspicion, &and added, he could
venture to say, there was not a-
ny Thinganything to be laid to their Charge.
Albemarle still cried to have
them roped, &and swore, if one of
them should happen to escape,
CapnCaptain Hamilton should pay dear
for him. Accordingly they were
tied two &and two by the Arms, the
Gentlemen laughing at yethe Farce,
&and excusing CapnCaptain Hamilton, ^who declared his be-
ing ashamed of such a Piece of
Duty. While Albemarle was bul-
lying &and roaring, one of the Gentle-
maên spoke these words, “It is
“exceedingly like a Dutchman.”
Cornet Forth (one of the Command)
said, he was persuaded, it was
Orders. How soon the Gentlemen
were out of Stirling, CapnCaptain Hamilton
desired ymthem to throw away yethe Ropes.✝

N: B: This is the Day, in the Morn-
ing of which Lord Loudon thought
to have surprizedsurprised the Prince, &and to
have taken him Prisoner in his
Bed at Moy or Moy-hall. ✝

Old Lady Macintosh, living in In-
verness, &and getting notice of Lord
Loudon’s Design, dispatched a
Boy (Lauchlan Macintosh) about
fifteen Years of Age, to try if
he could get past Lord Loudon’s
Men, &and to make all the Haste
he could to Moy to warn the
Prince of what was intend-
ed against him. The Boy at-
tempted to pass by Lord Loudon
&and his Command, but found he
could not do it without run-
ning the RisqueRisk of a Discove-
ry; &and therefore (as he said) he
lay down at a Dyke’s Side, till
all Lord Loudon’s Men pastpassed him,
and, taking a different Road,
came to Moy about five o’ Clock
in the Morning; &and though the
Morning was exceedingly cold,
the Boy was in a Top-Sweat, having

having made very good Use of his
Time. He said, that Lord Loudon &and
his Men were (to use his own Words)
within five Quarters of a Mile of
Moy-hall. Immediately the Prince
was awaked, and, having but about
thirty Men for a Guard, he marched
two Miles down the Country by the
East-side of a Loch, till his Men
should conveenconvene. There was not the
least Suspicion entertained of any
Danger, otherwise there would have
been a much stronger Guard about
the Prince’s Person; &and there is no
Doubt to be made, but that Lord
Loudon had got certain✝ Informa-
tion of the small Number of Men
who were to mount Guard upon yethe
Prince that Night, which had in-
duced him to try the Experiment.
Lady Ma^cintosh (junior) was in great
Pain to have the Prince safe off
from Moy, when she heard of the
Alarm. The Prince returned the
same Night (Monday) to Moy, and
slept there. Mr Gib, upon the Alarm,
having been sleeping in his CloathsClothes,
steptstepped out with his Pistols under his
Arm, and in the Close21 he saw the
Prince walking with his Bonnet a-
bove his Night-cap &and his Shoes down in

Monday’s Forenoon, June 27th, 1748, talking a second
Time wtwith Mr Gib upon this Subject, I asked him, if he

Prince?

in the Heels, &and Lady Macintosh in
her Smock-petticoat running through
the Close, speaking loudly, &and express–
ing her Anxiety about the Prince’s
Safety. Mr Gib went along with the
Prince down the Side of the Loch,
&and left several covered WaggonsWagons &and
other Baggage at Moy, about which
Lady Macintosh forbadforbade Mr Gib to
be in the least anxious; for that
she would do her best to take
Care of them, &and indeed She was
as good as her Word; for, upon yethe
Prince’s Return to Moy, Mr Gib found
all his Things in great Safety, the
most of them having been carried off,
by Lady Macintosh’s Orders, into a
Wood, where they would not readily
have been discovered, though Lord
Loudon &and his Men had proceeded
to Moy; but they were most providen-
tially stoptstopped in their March, which hap-
pened thus. A Blacksmith &and other four,
with loaded Muskets in their Hands,
were keeping Watch upon a Muir
at some Distance from Moy towards
Inverness. As they were walking
up &and down, they happened to spy a
Body of Men marching towards them, upon

Prince? Mr Gib said ytthat Grant of Dalrachny was strong-
ly suspected to have sent InformaōnInformation fmfrom his own House
to Lord ~~Lord~~ Loudon about yethe slender Guard yethe Prince
kept upon his own Person.

upon which the Blacksmith fired his
Piece, &and the other four followed his
Example. The Laird of MacLeod’s
Piper (reputed the best of his Bu-
siness in all Scotland) was shot
dead on the Spot. Then the Black-
smith ^[Fraser] &and his trusty Companions rais-
ed a Cry (calling some particular
Regiments by their Names) to the
Prince’s Army to advance, as if
they had been at hand; which
so far imposed upon Lord Loudon &and
his Command (a pretty consider-
ble one) &and struck ^them with such a PanickPanic,
that instantly they beat a Retreat,
&and made their Way back to Inver-
ness in great Disorder, imagining
the Prince’s whole Army to be at
their Heels. This gallant &and resolute
Behaviour of the Five, which speaks
an uncommon Presence of Mind,
happened much about the same
Time when the Boy (Lauchlan
Macintosh) arrived at Moy to
give the Alarm.

When the Prince came first to Moy-
hall, (Sunday, FebryFebruary 23d) Lady Mac-
intosh (junior) told Mr Gib to beat
no Trouble at all about Supper;
for that She was resolved to com-
pliment the Prince &and his HousholdHousehold
with a Supper that night, so that his Cooks 993 (993) 1746.

Cooks had the Play for one
Night. Mr Gib took Care to re-
present to her Ladyship, that
he behovedbehooved to provide for the
Servants (the HousholdHousehold consis-
ting ôf about Seventy at least) &and
therefore he would employ his
Cooks to dress Supper for the
Servants; but Lady Macintosh
would not allow that to be
done, for she gave Supper to
the whole HousholdHousehold. There
were always ten Covers upon
the Prince’s own Table, &and eight
Covers upon another Table
in the same Room for the
AidAide de camps. Lady Macin-
tosh’s Supper was exceedingly
genteel &and plentiful.

Lady Mary Menzies did the
Prince the same Compliment
of a Supper to the whole
HousholdHousehold, when at Castle-
Weem, as also the DutchessDuchess
of Perth did the same at Drum-
mond-Castle.

or Names of Places in his Pocket-book from yethe
31st of JanryJanuary to the 3d of March; &and therefore I
writ from his Memory, on some blank Pages of his
Pocket ^book all these omitted Dates and Names of Plac-
es, in giving of which he was very distinct, &and was
pretty positive that his Memory served him exact-
ly enough, mentioning now &and then a Token as an
Evidence of ^his remembringremembering well where they were at
this or the other Time; viz, he said, he was sure
they were at Blair-Castle about a Week, at
Ruthven in Badenoch a Week at least, &and that
they came from Dalrachny upon a Sunday, be-
cause Lady Dalrachny would not allow the ServtsServants
to bake some Bread in her House, tho’though[] they had
run scarce, for this single Reason, that it was
Sunday.

Sunday. However, I must remember to re-
present to Mr Gib this remarkable Difference
betwixt his Account &and that given in yethe Scots
Magazine, to put particular Questions to him
about it, &and carefully to remark the Terms he
expresses upon the Subject, when I have an Op-
portunity of uncovering with him.

See pag: 1041

On Monday’s Forenoon, June 27th, 1748, I was with
Mr Gib in the New Stage-Coach Office in EdrEdinburgh, when
(among other Things) I took Occasion to repre-
sent to him, according to my above Resolution, the
remarkable Difference I had observed betwixt
his Account of Days &and of Names of places, &and yethe
Account given in the Scots Magazine, &cetc. I
mentioned all the Particulars as narrated in the
Magazine, that the Account was taken from a Let-
ter of Lord Loudon to yethe Duke, dated FebryFebruary 22d, qchwhich
Letter ^(or Part of it) was printed in the London Gazette, &cetc, &c.etc.
and then I asked Mr Gib, if he could be sure, that yethe
Prince was about a Week at Blair-Castle, &and a-
nother Week at Ruthven, for ytthat upon his ascertain-
ing these Points (provided he could be certain) depend-
ed the Truth of his account? Mr Gib’s Answer
was, “I am positive, that the Prince was about a
“Week at Blair-Castle &and a Week at least at Ruth-
“ven; for a Day or two of odds in either of these
“Places would never make of Difference a full
“Week betwixt my Account &and that in the Magazine.”
These words Mr Gib repeated to me again &and again.
Mr Gib likewise desired me to remark, ytthat tho'though Lady
Dalrachney would not allow yethe baking of Bread in her
House upon yethe Sunday’s Forenoon, before their march-
ing for Moy-hall, yet she weighed out Meal on
yethe sdsaid Sunday, selling it to the Highlanders, &and re-
ceiving ready Money for it.
