General Hugh MacKay, an officer who had served chiefly abroad, was appointed commander of the Revolution army in Scotland, which consisted of the Scottish brigade from Holland, some dragoons from England, and a levy of militia raised by proclamation. Dundee, who possessed the confidence of the Highland Clans, resolved to make a vigorous attempt to restore the exiled monarch, and went to the Duke of Gordon's country where he was joined by many followers. 1689. May. The Edinburgh authorities made... an attempt to apprehend Dundee, but he repaired to the Gordon country ; for some weeks he continued in the Highlands, sometimes at Inverness, sometimes in AthoU, puzzling and outwitting MacKay, who in June returned, but in July went north to Stirling and Perth, whilst Dundee had in the meanwhile, been strengthening himself in AthoU and other parts of the Highlands. July 26. MacKay resolved to march from Perth into Atholl at the head of 4500 men ; he encamped opposite Dunkeld and next morning marched onwards through the Pass, at the head of which the Highland army was waiting for him, and the Battle of Killiecrankie was fought in which MacKay was signally defeated by Dundee and the Highlanders.
