Highland Host and Highlanders in 1678 Scotland
A detailed 1817 Blackwood’s extract notes the Highland Host of 1678 sent to suppress Presbyterian gatherings. It describes looting, quartering, night raids, and violence against civilians, with some officials warning of harsher quarters after the band’s return. It contrasts Highland behavior with other Scots and frames broader questions about church power and civil resistance.
