Talk:Battle of Inverlochy (1645)

Alasdair and the War against the Campbells.

The existing account of this battle fails to pay sufficient attention to the role in the whole campaign played by Alasdair MacColla, who appears, at best, in an auxiliary capacity. This battle has to be seen as the centre-piece of particular kind of Highland war, which overlapped, but did not coincide with that being pursued by Montrose. MacColla and Montrose had seperate strategic visions which came together-or were forced together-at Inverlochy. These visions came apart after Kilsyth, with the result that Montrose's own war ended in disaster at Philiphaugh. I hope my expansion, now underway, will make some of these issues clearerRcpaterson 04:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Now complete. It should also be pointed out that the previous version is quite wrong in asserting that the Lowland troops were veterans from the war in England; they were not. The formations given to Argyll by General William Ballie were made up of the same kind of raw levies who had collapsed earlier at Tippermuir and Aberdeen. Their rapid exit at Inverlochy was the key to the royalist victory. Rcpaterson 01:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problem

This article uses text from A Land Afflicted: Scotland and the Covenanter Wars, 1638-90 and The Lords of the Isles, to which Wikipedia is not legally entitled, lacking proper licensing by the publisher. The bulk of text was added between these edits. Some examples of copyright problems include [1], [2], [3],[4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9]. I am heartily sorry to say that it seems the article will need to be rewritten to remove any remaining text by this contributor, since he has verified that the publisher did not license its use. I am blanking the article accordingly and listing it at the copyright problems board. I hope that the contributors to this article will be able to help salvage it. Alternatively, it is possible to restore to a point before the introduction of this text. (For more information, see CCI.) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:53, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
