G'day Mel, My "Dictionary of English History" published 1889 (it should be British History!) has the following on the Battle of Bothwell Bridge. "Bothwell Bridge, The Battle of (June 22, 1679), was fought between the Royalist troops commanded by the Duke of Monmouth, and the forces of the revolted Conventiclers or Covenanters. The insurgents occupied a strong position, with the Clyde between them and the enemy; but, as they attempted to defend instead of destroying a bridge, Monmouth cleared the passage of the river with his artillery. The insurgents were forced to retire to a hill nearby, known as Hamilton Heath, where they were attacked by the Royal troops and completely routed. Bothwell Bridge is in Lanarkshire, near Hamilton."
