It was a conflict between government forces and a group of Jacobite supporters who aimed to restore the Stuart monarchy. The battle was part of the larger struggle for power in Britain following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The Jacobite forces, led by John Erskine, faced off against the British army commanded by General Wade. Despite initial successes, the Jacobites were ultimately defeated, which marked a significant setback for their cause. The battle highlighted the ongoing tensions in Scotland and the challenges faced by those seeking to restore the Stuart line.
