Not quite. The B of W was fought on 3rd September 1651. The Scots objected to the English having cut the head off their King Charles I (despite having been fighting in the War of the three Kingdoms AKA as the English Civil War on the Parliamentary side.) They crowned Charles II and went to war on his behalf. After being defeated in the Battles of Dunbar - 3rd September 1651, they were then again defeated a year later. Cromwell then set up a military government in Scotland which was united with England. Presbyterians and Scots ultimately have no more cause to love Cromwell than do English Episcopalians or Irish Roman Catholics. In 1650 he tried to burn my Church, and having failed, he used it to quarter his troops and as a stable.
