[37] More probably Fort Carrillon.

[38] Inver means “the mouth of,” therefore the mouth of the River Awe.

[39] Major Sir Duncan Campbell of Bacaldine says should be “of Glendaruel” and that younger of Glenlyon went to the Marines in 1755.

[40] Lieut. Sir James Cockburn transferred to 48th Foot. Ensign Patrick Balneavis made Lieut., commission dated 1st April, 1758, and Mr. Elbert Hering succeeded to the Ensigncy, commission dated April 3d, 1758. (See extract from letter Jas. Abercrombie to Lord Viscount Barrington. Albany, May 27, 1758.)

[41] See Foot Note at bottom of preceding page.

[42] Miss Ethel Lomas, copyist at Public Record Office, London, is authority for the statement that this should be Peter (not Patrick) Stewart.

[43] This name is given as David Mills in the Army List, but the Duke of Atholl is authority for the statement that Milne is correct.

[44] Stewart of Garth calls him Dougal Campbell, but he appears as James in his commission.

[45] It is not stated to which companies Lieutenant Malcolm Fraser and Francis Grant belonged. No other lieutenants are mentioned for Balliemore and Newmore; they have therefore been assigned respectively to them.

[46] i. e. Drynie. A younger son of the Laird.

[47] See note to Lieutenant Malcolm Fraser.

[48] Garth gives the adjutant as being Gilbert Stewart (presumably the ensign to the Colonel’s Company.) He probably acted in this capacity until John Lindsay was gazetted to the regiment.

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Missing anchor for Footnote [23] was inserted after ‘Allan Campbell.’
on page 22. Missing anchor for Footnote [29] was inserted after
‘soon thereafter.’ on page 26.

Nine paragraph breaks were introduced to better indicate a quotation
block, for example after ‘Lossing writes,’ on page 20.

The original blank cells in the table in Appendix F have been given
a dash (-) in this etext for clarity.

In Appendix P information about the ‘2nd Batt.’ of a regiment was
sometimes on a separate line. For consistency all regimental info is
in one paragraph in this etext.

The original text used three asterisks (* * *) to indicate missing
or skipped words, but sometimes used two or four or five. For
consistency the etext always uses three. On page 80 an ellipsis is
used (twice) instead of asterisks in both the original and the etext.

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within
the text and consultation of external sources.

Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text,
and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.
