Perth Evacuated by Rebels as Duke Argyle Advances
In Scotland the Pretender and rebel forces withdrew toward Dun kel, evacuating Perth as Duke of Argyle’s advance force reached the town. General Whetham took possession with 1000 foot and 500 horse, Cadogan moving toward Dundee, and Royal ships blockading Leith Road to curb supplies to rebels. The march followed a divided council among clans about Perth or the mountains, with news reaching Perth that the leaders planned to bivouac near Kinnoull Ardheig.
