Notes |
- Colonel Sir William Douglas, who had his own regiment, fell at Broxmouth, where there is a monument in his honour, following the disastrous Battle of Dunbar in 1650. 30 officers of the Douglas of Kirkness Regiment died that day, and countless soldiers. This is probably the same William Douglas who was required to supply an armed force from the county of Kinross under the terms of the 1649 'Act for putting the kingdom in a posture of defence'.
