The idea of the Haughs of Cromdale simply describing two separate battles is oft cited but doesn't make sense either. In the song Montrose is fighting Cromwell's English troops. Didn't happen. Montrose was executed by the Scottish gvt several years before Cromwell's forces ever entered Scotland. Historically the lyrics are nonsense. |
