November
The Highlanders resist marching into England and there are some mutinies and defections, but they press on.
The Jacobites, instead of finding the expected welcome, are met instead by hostile militia armed with pitchforks and very few recruits.
They are unopposed in Lancaster and as they reach Preston on November 9 find about fifteen recruits, bringing their force to around four thousand.
Then Hanoverian forces (including the Cameronians) arrive to besiege them at the Battle of Preston, and on November 14 the surviving Jacobites surrender.
