Twice Ayala went to the English border with the Scottish army, and crossed the Tweed into Northumbria with Warbeck in September 1497. Four of his Spanish servants were killed and three were injured in the fighting. The army crossed the Tweed on 21 September 1496 at Coldstream.

1745 Battle of Prestonpans. Also known as the Battle of Gladsmuir – but was fought at Prestonpans, East Lothian, Scotland on that town’s borders with Tranent, Cockenzie and Port Seton, South East of Edinburgh. Jacobite army loyal to James Francis Edward Stuart and led by his son Charles Edward Stuart defeated the government army loyal to the Hanoverian George II led by Sir John Cope. Murray led the Jacobite left wing in person and was practically commander-in-chief of the force, having ordered the successful attack at Battle of Prestonpans on his own initiative.

British Regiments: This battle is not a battle honour for British Regiments. Hamilton’s (14th ) Dragoons, Murray’s (46th).

A contemporary print showing Sir John Cope arriving at Berwick to announce his defeat at Prestonpans.

Sir John Cope became a figure of ridicule for the Scottish Nation. Hence the pipe tune “Hey Johnnie Cope are ye sleeping yet?” It was said that General Lord Mark Kerr met Cope at Berwick and told Cope, that Cope was the first general in history to bring news of his own defeat. Sir John Cope is reputed to have wagered £10,000 that his successor as commander-in-chief would also be defeated by Prince Charles’s Highlanders. Cope won (see Falkirk) and the wager made Cope a wealthy man.

Two battles, at Prestonpans 1745 and Falkirk 1746, so threatened the Government that all British regiments were withdrawn from the European Continent, even in the middle of the War of the Austrian Succession. So was the second Jacobite uprising in 3 decades (1715 and 1745). And after the crisis ended at Culloden 1746, Falkirk and Prestonpans seemed insignificant in hindsite. Reader, You’ve probably never even heard of Falkirk and Prestonpans. Nevertheless, the policy was resolved in London at the time (1746) to depopulate Scotland, destroy the economy, destroy the food supply, ban the clans, ban tartans, and eliminate the Jacobite threat for all time. Thus thousands more Scots left or fled for the colonies. Whether or not they supported Charles or George, the destruction applied to all. So many, that 3 decades later, a third of the signers of the Unanimous Declaration of Independence were born Scots or had Scots ancestry. Never to return.

  • See April 6th for the impact in America. ‘’ *** almost half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, the Governors in 9 of the original 13 States were of Scottish ancestry. ***y Three-fourths of all American presidents can trace their roots to Scotland.’’ US Senate Resolution 153, Nov 10, 1997.

1756 John Loudon McAdam (September 21, 1756 – November 26, 1836) was a Scottish engineer and road-builder. He invented a new process, “macadamisation”, for building roads with a smooth hard surface that would be more durable and less muddy than soil-based tracks.

Born in Ayr, Macadam emigrated to America in 1770. He was a loyalist and returned to Britain in 1783 and developed an interest in road engineering.

 

1823 Joseph Smith the Prophet, (Descendant of Malcolm, King of Scots) calls upon God, ‘I discovered a alight appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor. *** He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni *** He said there was a book deposited, written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang. *** Also, that there were two stones in silver bows—and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim—deposited with the plates; and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted “seers” in ancient or former times; *** when I got those plates of which he had spoken—for the time that they should be obtained was not yet fulfilled—I should not show them to any person; neither the breastplate with the Urim and Thummim; only to those to whom I should be commanded to show them; if I did I should be destroyed. While he was conversing with me about the plates, the vision was opened to my mind that I could see the place where the plates were deposited, and that so clearly and distinctly that I knew the place again when I visited it.’ This is repeated again three more times.

September 21 1942. Plan submitted for a force of three canoes to be transported to the Gironde estuary by submarine then paddle by night and hide by day until they reached Bordeaux 60 miles (97 km) from the sea, thus hoping to avoid the 32 mixed German Navy ships that patrolled or used the port. On arrival they hoped to sink between six and 12 cargo ships then escape overland to Spain. Operation Frankton, the December 1942 raid by canoe-borne British commandos on shipping in Bay of Biscay port of Bordeaux Harbour.

The Bay of Biscay port of Bordeaux was a major destination for goods to support the German war effort. In the 12 months from June 1941–1942 vegetable and animal oils, other raw materials, and 25,000 tons of crude rubber had arrived at the port. Royal Navy submarine HMS Tuna (N94) left from Holy Loch in Scotland.
