The Castles were ordered to be well furnished, the gentry to be modelled into troops, and orders were sent to all the Highland Clans to have their men in readiness, which with the standing forces would have made a very considerable army. Upon the first noise of the invasion, Captain Mackay, nephew to Ma- jor- General Mackay, was taken up on suspicion, having, as was informed, laid down his commission in Holland that he might be the better able to serve the Prince of Orange in his own country, w...hich was confirmed by a letter of his own found in his pocket, which he had intended for his uncle ; in it he expressed great affection to the Prince of Orange, and desired his uncle to let him know, that, although he had quitted his service, yet he hoped, from the condition he was in, to be more useful to him, and that he only wanted his directions to show his good inten- tions. He had been examined before, but brought himself off by swear- ing he meant nothing but a compliment. There was likewise one Doc- tor Blackader seized, who had been sent by the Scots discontented Pres- byterian party in Holland to encourage their friends, and to have an ac- count of the inclination and affection of the people of Scotland to the interest of the Prince of Orange.
