| 1. A number of
men had been sent home by Lochiel from Dalnacardoch, vide vol.I.,p.225. |
|
|
| 2. In a
narrative of the campaign by Dunmcan MacPharic (MacGregor) given in Nimmo's
'History of Stirlingshire', the writer states that two hundred |
|
| MacGregors joined the Stewarts of Appin
during the night march on Edinburgh, and that the Stewarts were only seventy
strong.It may be that these | |
| were the MacGregors commanded by
Glencairnaig who fought at Prestonpans, but the number is probably greatly
exaggerated. |
|
| 3.Struan witnessed the battle as a spectator
only. |
|
|
|
|
| 4.Commissary Bisset says many deserted befor
the action, and those that remained were not allowed to join in the attack. |

|
|
| 1.Lochgarry gives the number of Keppoch's men
as 500, and the two Glengarry battalions as 1200 strong, which includes the
Grants, &c, from Urquhart |
|
| and Glenmoriston;
but as there were only between 200 and 300
of Keppoch's men at Prestonpans, and only, on Lochgarry's own showing,500 of |
|
| Glengarry's men, including 100 Grants,
present on that occasion, it is difficult to account for the very large
accession of stength;Barisdale
brought |
|
| Glenmoroston men, which may have been
200 strong at most.This would give a
force of 900 to the two Glengarry battalions as an outside number, |
|
| and if we add another 150 men to
Keppoch's regiment, making it 400 strong, we have probably a fair estimate of
the actual strength.If we include the |
|
|
MacLeods (vide note 7) another 150 men may be added. |
|
|
|
| 2.Farquharson of Monaltrie with half the
regiment was left behind to bring up the artillery. |
|
|
| 3.Some authorities place Lord Cromartie's
regiment in the second line. |
|
|
|
| 4.The Camerons were reinforced by a body of
450 of the clan brought by Ludovic Cameron of Torcastle, Lochiel's
uncle.VideLetter from Torcastle to |
|
| the Prince, dated Paris 1753, in
Appendix, Browne's 'History', vol.iv. Cclxvii |
|
|
| 5.Hawley's report shows the MacGregors and
MacKinnons attached to Lochiel's regiment. |
|
|
| 6.Numbers taken from D'Eguilles'
correspondence. |
|
|
|
|
| 7.I can find no reference to the MacLeods
under Raasa and Bernera, except a note in Home's 'History', p.249, in which
it is stated that they were attached |
|
| to the Glengarry regiment. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 8.The Menzies and Robertsons were probably
attached to the Atholl Brigade.Vide Jacobite

| 1.There is some doubt regarding the position
of the Robertsons at Culloden.It is
almost certain they were attached to the Atholl Brigade, but there is a |
|
| possibility that some of the clan were
attached to Keppoch's regiment under Woodsheal.
Vide Struan's orders to Woodsheal, 'Chronicles of Atholl and |
|
| Tullibardine', vol.iii, p.44. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2.Some authorities place John Roy Stuart's
men in the second line. |
|
|
|
| 3.The Glencoe men wre probably attached to
one of the other MacDonald regiments. |
|
|
| 4.Lord Ogilvy's regiment was sent to guard
the right flank at the commencement of the action. |
