Killiecrankie 1689: The Highland Charge That Broke an Army in Minutes

On 27 July 1689, a Government army marched into the Pass of Killiecrankie thinking numbers and muskets would win the day. What they met instead was high ground, failing light, and a shock tactic designed to end the fight before reloading even mattered. In this video, we break down the first major battle of the first Jacobite Rising: how Dundee (“Bonnie Dundee”) chose the terrain, why he waited until sunset, and how the Highland Charge—one volley and then cold steel—shattered a larger force in minutes. And then, the twist: the Jacobites win the field… but lose the man who could have turned victory into a campaign.
