Two troops of horse, Lord Annandale's and Lord Belhaven's, probably made up the army to the number of above three thousand men.
Belhaven rode at the head of his troop: but Annandale, the most factious of all Montgomery's followers, preferred the Club and the Parliament House to the field, [357] Dundee, meanwhile, had summoned all the clans which acknowledged his commission to assemble for an expedition into Athol.

His exertions were strenuously seconded by Lochiel.

The fiery crosses were sent again in all haste through Appin and Ardnamurchan, up Glenmore, and along Loch Leven.

But the call was so unexpected, and the time allowed was so short, that the muster was not a very full one.

The whole number of broadswords seems to have been under three thousand.
