The Battle of Glen Shiel was a battle in Glen Shiel, in the West Highlands of Scotland on 10 June 1719 between the British government and an alliance of Jacobites and Spaniards, resulting in a victory for the British forces. It was the last close engagement of British and foreign troops on mainland British soil.

Build up and previous events

After the Treaty of Utrecht, Philip V was accepted as King of Spain in exchange for several concessions. Great Britain had received control over Spanish possessions like Menorca and Gibraltar, which it could defend as Britain possessed the biggest navy in the world at that time. The Treaty of Utrecht comprised a series of peace treaties signed in Utrecht in March and April 1713 that helped end the War of the Spanish Succession. ... King Philip V of Spain (December 19, 1683 – July 9, 1746) or Philippe of Anjou was king of Spain from 1700 to 1746, the first of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain. ...

Philip's plans to restore Spanish power would lead to a violent clash with Britain. Philip and his Italian counsellor Cardinal Giulio Alberoni carried out a campaign in the western Mediterranean. In 1717, 8500 infantry men and 500 cavalry men sailed from Barcelona and occupied Sardinia without difficulty. Next year, 38,000 troops did the same with Sicily. Cardinal Alberoni Giulio Alberoni (May 21, 1664 OS - June 26 NS, 1752), Italian cardinal and statesman in the service of Philip V of Spain, was born near Piacenza, probably at the village of Fiorenzuola dArda in the Duchy of Parma. ...

The British response occurred on 11 August; declaring a violation of Utrecht the British navy intercepted and destroyed the fleet of José Antonio de Gaztañeta in the region of Cape Passaro, (near Syracuse).

The Alberoni Plan

Giulio Alberoni decided to meddle in the throne disputes, supporting the Jacobite claims and its Highland allies both to de-stabilise the Crown and set up a more pliant king (and Parliament) in its place. Cardinal Alberoni Giulio Alberoni (May 21, 1664 OS - June 26 NS, 1752), Italian cardinal and statesman in the service of Philip V of Spain, was born near Piacenza, probably at the village of Fiorenzuola dArda in the Duchy of Parma. ...

The original plan had two phases:

1. George Keith, tenth Earl Marischal would infiltrate Scotland with 300 Spanish marines to raise the Western clans and take some positions. It was a distraction manoeuvre to take defences from England.
2. The main fleet, with 27 ships and 7000 men under James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde (the former Captain General of the British army, exiled in Spain), would disembark in South West England or Wales, where Jacobites were abounding. The resulting alliance would march east to siege London, depose George I and enthrone James Stuart.

Three weeks after leaving Cadiz, Ormonde's fleet encountered a storm near Cape Finisterre (29 March) leaving most of the ships dispersed and damaged. Ormonde was forced to withdraw and the ships taken to several Spanish havens. (Compare with the fate of the Spanish Armada of 1588) By then, Keith had already left the Spanish port of Pasajes and occupied the Isle of Lewis, including Stornoway where he set camp. On 13 April 1719 Keith's men disembarked on the Highlands near Lochalsh, although the Highlanders however did not join the "Little Rising" in the expected numbers (the Spaniards carried 2000 guns to distribute), mistrusting the enterprise and waiting for news from the South. Keith could not proceed to Inverness and established his headquarter in the castle of Eilean Donan. George Keith, was born in 1638/9 in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, to a Presbyterian family and received an M.A. from the University of Aberdeen. ...

The two Spanish frigates returned to Spain. The Spaniards were accompanied by William Mackenzie, 5th Earl of Seaforth, who was chief of the Clan Mackenzie; the Earl Marischal; and the Marquess of Tullibardine; and some Irish officers. They were joined by a few hundred Highlanders including members of the Clan MacRae, Robert Roy MacGregor, and a party of MacGregors. Some days later, the main of the troop went south to stir again the Highlanders, leaving a small garrison (40-50 men) at the castle. The Jacobite forces were to be led by the Earl of Seaforth and also by John Cameron of Lochiel, 18th Captain and Chief of Clan Cameron; along with Lord George Murray.

The capture and destruction of Eilean Donan castle

At the beginning of May the Royal Navy sent five ships to the area for reconnaissance: two patrolling off Skye and three around Lochalsh, adjacent to Loch Duich. Early in the morning on Sunday 10 May these latter three, HMS Worcester, HMS Flamborough, and HMS Enterprise, anchored off Eilean Donan, where the Spanish forces had established a base.

Their first move was to send a boat ashore under a flag of truce to negotiate, but when the Spanish soldiers in the castle fired at the boat it was recalled and all three ships opened fire on the castle for an hour or more. They then shifted anchorage and waited, the wind blowing a fresh gale.

The next morning acting on intelligence from a Spanish deserter, the commanding officer, Captain Boyle of the Worcester, sent the Enterprise up the river to capture a house being used to store gunpowder but, according to the naval logs, the rebels on the shore set fire to the house as the ship approached. Meanwhile the other two ships continued to bombard the castle at intervals while they prepared a landing party. Smokeless powder Gunpowder, whether black powder or smokeless powder, is a substance that burns very rapidly, releasing gases that act as a propellant in firearms. ...

In the evening, under the cover of an intense cannonade, the ships' boats went ashore and captured the castle against little resistance. According to HMS Worcester's log, in the castle they found "an Irishman, a captain, a Spanish lieutenant, a serjeant, one Scotch rebel and 39 Spanish soldiers, 343 barrels of powder and 52 barrels of musquet shot". Having captured the castle the British then "burnt several barns etc where they had a quantity of corn for the use of their camp".

The Naval force spent the next two days demolishing the castle (it took 27 barrels of gunpowder). The Spanish prisoners were put on board HMS Flamborough and taken away to Edinburgh. Edinburgh (pronounced ; Scottish Gaelic: ) is the capital of Scotland and its second-largest city. ...

At Glen Shiel

Jacobite Army

The great natural strength of the Jacobite's position had been increased by hasty fortifications. A barricade had been made across the road, and along the face of the hill on the north side of the river entrenchments had been thrown up. Here the main body was posted, consisting of:

• A Spanish regiment, which now only paraded some 200 strong, under its Colonel, Don Nicolas Bolano.
• Clan Cameron of Lochiel with about 150 men.
• About 150 of Lidcoat’s and others, 20 volunteers.
• Rob Roy, chief of Clan MacGregor with 40 men.
• 50 men of Clan MacKinnon’s.
• 200 from the Clan MacKenzie of Lord Seaforth’s, commanded by Sir John Mackenzie of Coul. The chief of Clan MacKenzie, Lord Seaforth himself was on the extreme left, up on the side of Scour Ouran, with 200 of his best men.
• Lord George Murray, son of the chief of Clan Murray was positioned on the hill on the south bank of the river, the right of the position, was occupied by about 150 men under Tullibardine cornmanded in the centre, accompanied by Glendaruel.
• Brigadier MacKintosh of Borlum was with the Spanish Colonel. Chief of Clan Keith, George Keith the Earl Marischal and a rebel Brigadier Campbell were with Seaforth on the left.

The Battle of Glen Shiel

After moving around for one month, the Spaniards learnt by the beginning of June that Ormonde would never come. In spite of this, they gathered clansmen for a last action summing 1000 troops.

On 5 June, British government forces made from both English and Scottish soldiers under General Joseph Wightman came from Inverness to block their march. They consisted of 850 infantry, 120 dragoons and 4 mortar batteries. June 5 is the 156th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (157th in leap years), with 209 days remaining. ...

They confronted the Jacobites at Glen Shiel, just a few miles from Loch Duich, on June 10, near the Five Sisters hills. The Spanish took their advantage to occupy the top and the front of one of the hills while the Jacobite Scots mounted barricades on the sides. Loch Duich is a sea loch situated on the western coast of Scotland, in the Highlands. ... June 10 is the 161st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (162nd in leap years), with 204 days remaining. ...

The engagement began between about five and six o'clock when the left wing of the British government army advanced against Lord George Murray's position on the south side of the river. The position was first shelled by the mortar batteries and then attacked by four platoons of Clayton's regiment and Munro's. After some initial stubborn resistance Lord George Murray's men who were not supported were driven from their position and forced to retreat.

Once the Jacobite's right wing had been dislodged General Joseph Wightman ordered his right wing to attack the Jacobite's left.

The detachment commanded by chief of MacKenzies Lord Seaforth was strongly positioned behind a group of rocks on the hillside. It was against them that British right wing troops of Harrison's and Montigue's regiments were directed. Seaforth was reinforced by his own men under Sir John MacKenzie. Finding themselves hard pressed by the government troops Seaforth sent for further reinforcements. Another reinforcement of men under Rob Roy went to his aid but before it could reach him his men had given way and Seaforth himself was badly wounded.

Wightman concentrated his troops on the flanks while the mortars battered the whole and kept the Spaniards in their positions. Wightman's whole force was now directed toward the Jacobite centre.

The Spanish regulars stood their ground well but found that most of their allies had deserted them so they too retreated up the hill. Rob Roy had become severely wounded and his clan MacGregor left the battle to save him. Other clans followed and left their allies retreating uphill.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, they surrendered, three hours after the start of the combat, while the remaining Jacobites fled into the fog, to escape an execution as traitors.

The Jacobites were poorly provisioned and armed, and when expected Jacobite support from the Lowlanders was minimal, spirits fell completely. The Rising was abandoned and the Jacobites dispersed to their homes. The Scottish Lowlands ( an Galldachd in Gaelic ), although not officially a geographical area of the country, in normal usage is generally meant to include those parts of Scotland not referred to as the Highlands (or Gàidhealtachd), that is, everywhere due south and east of a line (the Highland Boundary...
