On Huntly's side 120 were slain, and nearly as many taken prisoners. Among the latter was the Earl "who, being aged and corpulent, and by reason of the throng which pressed him, expired in the hands of his takers." "He was tane by Andro Reidpath, one of our Soverane Ladie's gaird" The Queen herself is reported to have been present, and to have beheld the battle from a rocky seat overlooking the whole field, still called Queen Mary's Chair. In the bottom of the glen there are several heaps which seem to mark an encampment, and various cairns, which are easily distinguished from others beside them of a more ancient date" Extract from Statistical Account |
