Description:
Depicts the opposing armies of the Government and the Covenanters clashing on Bothwell Bridge, South Lanarkshire. The Battle of Bothwell Bridge (22 June 1679) saw a government army under James, Duke of Monmouth, decisively defeat an army of Covenanters and effectively put an end to their rebellion. It is dramatized in ch. 31-32 of Scott's Old Mortality (1816). Scott also included the traditional 'Ballad of Bothwell Brig' in his Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1802-1803), adding extensive historical notes, and gave a further account of the battle in the Second Series of his Tales of a Grandfather (1828).
