1.00pm – 2.00pm – Forster and English Jacobite colleagues, without consulting Scots, send Captain Dalziel, as an envoy, to Wills to seek terms for surrender. An armistice is arranged until the following morning. The Earl of Derwentwater and Colonel McIntosh handed over as hostages for the ceasefire.

In Scotland, at Sherriffmuir, near Dunblane, an indecisive battle is fought between Jacobites led by the Earl of Mar and the King’s troops led by the Duke of Argyll.
