Der Marquis von Montrose, Owever, rief die Miliz der nördlichen Grafschaften aus, und die sundrylocal Herren schlossen sich seinem Standard an. Mit einer Gewalt von etwa dreizehnhundert Mann überschritt er am 13. April die Grenze und marschierte towerdsDumfries. Aber er hatte dem Annan nicht den Anfang gemacht. Die englische Miliz, die von Sir Richard Graham of Netherby aufgearbeitet wurde, desertierte. Withhis einige hundert Anhänger erreichte er Dumfries und besetzte die Stadt ohne Widerstand.

The Marquis of Montrose . owever, called outfor him the militia of the northern counties, and sundrylocal gentlemen joined his standard. It was with aforce of some thirteen hundred men that he crossedthe Border on the 13th of April and marched towardsDumfries. But he had not forded the Annan beforetrouble began. The English militia, worked uponby Sir Richard Graham of Netherby, deserted. Withhis few hundred followers he reached Dumfries, andoccupied the town without opposition. The provost, a Maxwell, welcomed him gladly, and a few monthslater swung for it in Edinburgh. It was very soon apparent that nothing could bedone in the Lowlands. The Maxwells and Johnstonesof the Dumfries neighbourhood were in no moodto rise, and their heads, Nithsdale and Hartfell, werejealous of the new commander.
