		When battle became imminent, a small party of curious day-trippers from Kilsyth, consisting of the son of the innkeeper, Alexander Forester and three other local youths, seized one of Lord Pitsligo's less vigilant hussars on their way and carried him to Falkirk as a prisoner.
		The Battle was a victory for Lord George Murray, commander of the Jacobite Highland forces of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, over the Hanoverian forces - over 18,000 combatants were involved altogether.
		Brutal, hand to hand attack and counter attack continued in appalling weather conditions throughout the afternoon, and the closing stages of the battle was greatly confused by the dark, so much so that large numbers of troops on both sides were left to wander around with no clear orders.

		On January 6th of 1746 the Prince's army arrived in the Stirling area, avoiding Edinburgh since it was now held by Hanoverian Lieutenant-General Henry Hawley.
		The vast majority of their ammunition was expended upon the charging cavalry units, so these 800 Camerons "went in with great bravery, sword in hand." In the midst of battle Donald Cameron of Lochiel, XIX Captain and Chief of Clan Cameron, was slightly wounded in the foot by a musket ball.
		Shortly after the battle, Lochiel was well enough to lead a detachment of Camerons into the town of Falkirk, finding nothing but "a few straggling parties in the streets." Joined by Lord Murray and hundreds of other clansmen they were able to confiscate large quantities of military stores that had been left behind.

	Sir Robert Munro
		SIR Robert Munro of Foulis, who was killed at the Battle of Falkirk in 1746, was a soldier-politician whose life followed an 18th-century pattern which seems strange to us today.
		His regiment was brought over by sea to Newcastle, and while his son and brother joined Cope with the able-bodied men of the clan, and his lands were devastated, "Munro's Foot" formed part of the force which operated under Wade's ineffective command in the north of England.
		By the Prince's orders, Sir Robert was honourably buried in Falkirk churchyard, where several of the rebel leaders attended; his snuff mull was found in his pocket after the battle, and is still preserved.
