Edinburgh, June 19. 1685
This morning arrived an express with an account, that the Earl of Dumbarton, commander-in-chief of his majesties forces in this kingdom having notice that the Rebels passed the river Leven above Dumbarton, marched from Glasgow the 17th very early in the morning after them. The Rebels are making their way to Sterling and the Kings forces over-took them in the parish of Kilsyth. The Horse and Dragoons kept up the Rebels till the Foot arrived, but the Rebels were posted in so strong a ground and it was so late in the evening, that it was not thought fit then to attack them. So, the Kings Army stood to arms all night, to be ready as day-light appeared to fall upon the Rebels. But with great silence they marched off in the Night towards the River Clyde. Near a village called Kilpatrick, the Rebels swam with their Horse and carried over their Foot in boats, so got without much resistance into Renfrew. The Kings Army missing the Rebels in the morning marched with all diligence to Glasgow, where after they had two hours rest, the Earl of Dumbarton, with the Horse and Dragoons, marched after the Rebels, leaving the foot to follow with all the speed they could make.
