Composition of rebel army
It sounds as though the Highlanders were only one part of the Jacobite army. Who were the others? Valetude (talk) 10:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Deleting 'arson'
Robinvp11 has deleted my reference to arson in the lede, when the article makes clear that both sides were burning down houses. If he thinks they weren't, he should delete that part of the article. The lede is meant to summarise the article, and I feel that my draft was appropriate.

His claim that the page as a whole 'needs more work' is, of course, quite justified. Valetude (talk) 19:57, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
