@@leagueofaugsburg9036 No I only walked a little way up from the road. I was only passing through on the road to Skye. But really nice to see your video.
Great video Barry! I would be interested in a follow up video on this. Having travelled the field how you would re-fight it using say Donnybrook, make up forces you would use and terrain etc. Could make for a great mini series if you have the time.
thanks Paul. I was twisting my own brain as I walked the field thinking about how to transfer it to the table top. Even creating scenery where figures did not topple over because of the steep gradients would be a challenge.
It was a good position to face the English troops, but the clans were not professional soldiers used to being under artillery fire. Thus, after beginning to suffer the fire of the English mortars, the morale of the people of the clans collapsed and they retired leaving the Spanish alone. A missed opportunity unfortunately. Nice video, thanks for your work.
Well, I am building the BLB forces for this battle, and am almost ready to start on the terrain....not sure how to represent those slopes....maybe as terraces to fit the stands of infantry? I did walk the battlefield as well, back in 2010 I believe.....so long ago.
An excellent battlefield tour. 👍 I have visited a few time but I found it very difficult to orientate myself and your info graphics were very helpful. It must have been a very confusing battlefield because you quickly loose sight of higher ground as you approach the slopes and it is very ‘up and down’ terrain. A beautiful spot though. I can imagine that one lucky mortar shot, up on to the Jacobite position, when the defenders couldn’t even see the mortar and crew, could have been very disconcerting.
I can remember being chased around the dunes on Luskentyre beach on Harris by a squadron of the blighters! I guess it was too early in the year for midges ?
Excellent video Barry, thanks. Here is a link to a program that's a few years old now: th-cam.com/video/n0tPf5XMsjE/w-d-xo.html Watch from 38:42 for Glenshiel. It's got Tony Pollard and Tony Robinson talking about the battle.

A very interesting visit. Thanks for the video.
A pleasure!
Excellent. I was there many years ago - very difficult terrain and a strange place to fight a battle.
Did you climb the mountain Mike?

Nice video Barry. The picture and sound quality are superb.
Thanks Mark, something a little different.Glad it has gone down well.
Thanks Barry this is just awesome 😎
Thanks Johnny. It was a fun day.
@@leagueofaugsburg9036 in need to make a trip to see one day !!!!
@@johnnygrogan8050 We are quite friendly!
Fantastic video, i must go visit that site, cheers
You should! It is in the middle of a landscape overload... nothing quite like the Western Highlands!
Pls continue your series on mad for war ships or do painting tutorial for them 🙏
I think I did do a painting tutorial... maybe I imagined that!
Nice vid, Barry terrain looks pretty daunting 😁
A compromise would definitely be the order of the day on the tabletop I think!

A very interesting tour Barry! It seems incredible that a battle could have been fought in such difficult terrain.
Beautiful location though.
Thanks! It had always confused me hence the walk around. I Just didn't get it until I stood on the ground, then.. it clicked!

Stepping it would be the most practical idea but visually that is a compromise.

Yes, I agree. If the cleggs hadn't been so vicious I would have reached than flat top on the north spur. Wee buggers!

@@fogh No, they'd had a piece of me on Skye for the four previous days! :(

Thanks for the compliments and the link Paul. Will watch that tomorrow.
