PRESTON, FALKIRK, AND CULLODEN 409
Of the enemy were killed about 500, wounded 400, and
taken prisoners 1400. Among the prisoners were about
80 officers.
Our loss was very inconsiderable, viz. killed 2 captains,
1 Lieutenant, 1 ensign, and about 30 private men ; and
wounded 6 officers, and 70 private men.
All care immaginable was taken of the wounded, plenty
of able surgeons having been provided for that purpose.
The Prince lay this night at Pinkie, and next day the
22d returned to the palace of Holyroodhouse, and the
army encamped again at Duddingston.

about 10000 foot and 3 regiments of dragoons, and en¬

On the 16th the Prince drew up his army in line of battle,
on a muir or plain, a mile south east of the house of
Bannockburn, then his head quarters, and made all the

in his camp, and in the evening the Prince ordered his
men to their quarters.
Early next morning, the 17th, the Prince ordered his
men to draw up on the same plain. The right wing,
commanded by Lord George Murray, consisted of the
Macgregors, Macdonalds of Keppoch, Clanronald, Glengary,
and Glenco, Mackintoshes and Farquharsons. The left,
commanded by Lord John Drummond, consisted of the
Camerons of Lochiel, Stuarts of Appin, Macphersons of
Cluny, Frazers of Lovat, and Macleods of Raza and
Bernera. The 2d line, commanded by Brigadier-General
Stappleton, consisted of the regiments of the Duke of
