46.
High Constables of the City of Edinburgh. 1 69 In the beginning of August, the news of the Pretender being about to invade Scotland reached Edinburgh. On the igth, the day on which Prince Charles reared his standard at Glenfinnin, General Cope set out for Stirling to assume the command of the royal army. On the 3ist, the citizens learned with consternation that he had evaded the highland forces at Dal- whinnie, and had gone northwards to Inverness, leaving the lowlands com- pletely unprotec...ted. On the 3d of September the Prince entered Perth ; on the 1 3th he crossed the Forth ; and on Sunday the I5th his forces bivouacked at Linlithgow.
Meanwhile the authorities had done little to protect the capital. The citizens were busily engaged in preparing for their municipal elections, and the defence of the city was dealt with as a subject, out of which both the Jacobites who were in power, and the whigs who were in opposition, seem to have been mainly anxious to make capital in their burgal politics.
