Note 733 — Chapter XXVI
Reading edition
“The coincidence in time, of this achievement, with the reduction of Preston, and the battle of Sheriffmuir, is remarkable, and was much dwelt on at the time. But perhaps the day of the capture of Inverness not being exactly known—though it was certainly about the middle of November—it is not unlikely that the coincidence may have created a tendency to assign it to the 13th.”—Burton’s Scotland (1689–1747), vol. ii. p. 189 (note).
