Fought on July 27, 1689. _Not_ on the haugh near the modern road by the
railway, but higher up the hill, in the grounds of Urrard House. Two
shelter trenches, whence Dundee’s men charged, are still visible, high on
the hillside above Urrand. There is said, by Mr. Child, to have been a
contemporary broadside of the ballad, which is an example of the
evolution of popular ballads from the old traditional model. There is
another song, by, or attributed to, Burns, and of remarkable spirit and
vigour.
