Crown, Covenant and Cromwell: The Civil Wars in Scotland 1639-1651: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Crown, Covenant and Cromwell: The Civil Wars in Scotland 1639-1651" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Historians sometimes seem to regard battles as rather too exciting to be a respectable field of study, but determining just how that battle was won or lost is often just as important as unraveling the underlying reasons why it came to be fought in the first place or the consequences that followed. Here, Stuart Reid, one of Scotland s leading military historians, brings the campaigns and battles of those far off unhappy times to life in a fast-paced and authoritative narrative as never before.

The list below is to be found in the Ormonde Papers. The order of the listing presumably reflects the respective regimental seniorities, and would imply that when deployed for battle, McDermotts Regiment, as the most senior, was normally posted on the right, OCahans as second in seniority on the left, and MacCollas/Laghtnans Regiment in the centre.

by an Irish Officer in Alexander MacDonnels Forces
News from His Majestys Army in Scotland, to be presented to the Most Honourable the Lord Lieutenant-General of Ireland; written at Inverlochy in Lochaber the 7th of February, 1644, by an Irish officer in Alexander MacDonnels Forces .
When the Irish forces arrived in Argyles bounds in Scotland, our General-Major Alexander MacDonnel sent such of his Majestys commissions and letters to those to whom they were directed; although for the present none was accepted on: which caused our General-Major and those forces to march into Badenogh , where they raised the country with them; and from thence to Castle-Blaire , in Athol, where the Lord Marquess of Montrose came unto and joined them with some other small forces. From thence they marched to St. Johnston , where the enemy had gathered together 8000 foot and 800 horse with nine pieces of cannon; his Majestys army having not so much as one horse: for that day the Marquess of Montrose went on foot himself with his target and pike; the Lord Kilpunt commanding the bowmen, and our General-Major of the Irish forces commanding his 3 regiments. The armies being drawn up on both sides, they both advanced together, and although the battle continued for some space, we lost not one man on our side, yet still advanced, the enemy being 3 or 4 to one: howsoever God gave us the day; the enemy retreating with their backs towards us, that man might have walked on the dead corps to the town, being two long miles from the place where the battle was pitched. The chase continued from 8 a clock in the morning til 9 at night: all their cannon, arms, munition, colours, drums, tents, baggage, in a word, none of themselves, nor baggage escaped our hands, but their horse and such of the foot as were taken prisoners within the city. This battle to Gods glory and our Princes good was fought the first day of September.
From thence we marched straight to Aberdeen , only surprising such as withstood us, with little or no skirmishing until the 13th of the same month. At Aberdeen the Covenanters of the North had gathered themselves together to the number of 3,000 foot and 500 horse, with 3 pieces of cannon. We had then about 80 horse. The battle being fairly pitched, it continued for a long space, and the enemy behaved themselves far better than they did at St. Johnston . Yet we lost not that day above four, but the enemy were altogether cut off, unless some few that hid themselves in the city. The riches of that town, and the riches they got before, hath made all our soldiers cavaliers. This battle being ended, only our manner of going down to battle, and how each one commanded I omit, till it be drawn and set down in a more ample manner; now tendering only a brevity of our proceedings; for if I should write the whole truth, all that hath been done by our army would be accounted most miraculous; which I protest I will but shew in the least manner I can, leaving the rest to the report of the enemy themselves.
