THE BATTLE OF CROMDALE/Early on the 1st of May, 1690, under cover of darkness,/the Government army of mounted dragoons, led by/Grant guides crossed the River Spey. They by-passed/guards in the vicinity of Cromdale Kirk and, upon the/Haughs of Cromdale at Lethendry, made a surprise/cavalry charge on the main body of the sleeping Jacobite/army. Killing some 400 and capturing about 100, the/Government troops forced the remainder to flee, many/of whom were near naked having been compelled to/abandon their plaids in the confusing circumstances./ This complete rout ended the first Jacobite war in the/Highlands and destroyed any chance of King James/regaining the throne, occupied jointly by his daughter, Mary and her Dutch husband, William of Orange.
