Subject: RE: Lyr Add: How reliable is Folk History ?
I heard the suggestion that Haughs of Cromdale can be explained by it being about two battles,that is Cromdale itself and an earlier battle of Montrose's campaign but that still doesn't work. Where does Cromwell and the English army come into it? It would need to be at least three battles as Cromdale didn't involve an English army and neither did any of the Montrose campaign. Plus Montrose was executed by the Scottish gvt some time before Cromwell set foot in Scotland. Lyric makes no sense@
