Preston pans is six miles beyond Portobello i. E. , that distance from sea-side Edinburgh, or ten miles from Edinburgh Castle. The battle of Prestonpans was fought on the 2ist September, 1745. Charles Edward Stuart (son of James Francis Edward, the son of James II. Of England and VII. Of Scotland, better known as "The Chevalier de St. George") had a few days before had his father proclaimed at the Market Cross "James VIII. Of Scotland, Eng- land, France, and Ireland, " with the support of the C...ameron clansmen, the heralds and magistrates (some perhaps unwillingly), a number of ladies on horseback, with swords drawn, acting as a guard of honour, and afterwards, with other Jacobite ladies, enlivening the Holyrood apartments at a ball. On the night before the battle Charles slept in a little house at Dudding- ston, a village on the east of Arthur Seat. The battle was of short duration, the Highlanders suffering under great disadvantage gaining a signal victory over a well disciplined and veteran army, and sweep- ing it from the field.
