[Note] -- "Downhill about 500 feet above the sea, is remarkable
for being the place on which General Leslie had his camp,
before (what is sometimes called) the Battle of Dunbar,
but in general over this country, the Battle of Downhill
fought on the east side and neighbourhood of the
hill, between Oliver Cromwell and the Scotch Army under
Leslie's Command. From this strong entrenchment Leslie
was persuaded, contrary to his own opinion, to come down, -
was defeated by Cromwell, who was just about to embark
his troops at Dunbar for want of provisions, and pursued
with great Slaughter." -- Old Stat: [Statistical] Acct: [Account] Vol [Volume] 5 page 456. |
