The next day we went to Killiecrankie's visitors centre and went to see 'Soilder's Leap'.The 1689 Highland charge of the Jacobites took the government forces under General Hugh MacKay by surprise and they were completely overwhelmed in only 10 minutes. Donald MacBean, one of William II of Scotland's supporters, having lost the contest, is said to have cleared the pass, from one bank to the other, at "The Soldier's Leap".
To say the weather wasn't that great we all had a good time together. After there we moved on a little and went to see 'Queen's View'. We'll have this as another post though so stay tuned!
See you soon,
Charis & Family
