There is clearly further research that could be done, firstly and most obviously to locate "Sineland" (James - George's will is indeed extant but does not apparently contain any clues). I have the address of the relevant local history library at Selkirk and will write to them in due course. This could lead us to a positive identification - or nowhere! Next, it might be helpful to know more about the "Argileshire" regiment in general and the company of Captain MacDonnell of Dunslapeness (if I have interpreted the record correctly) in particular. I suspect that "regiment" is nothing like a regular army regiment but merely a rabble somewhat larger than a "company" - it seems that the rebels were pretty disorganised, untrained and poorly armed. Probably nothing more brought them to the field of battle than hatred of the Campbells (whose regiments WERE properly organised, though not necessarily of good fighting quality, on the rare occasions when they appear in the historical record). If anyone has any further questions or suggestions please let me know and I'll try to deal fully with them - but for the next month I shall be buried in examination work, so don't expect quick research results!
