Royalist revolt in Scotland, 1653–1654

Glencairn's rising was a Royalist revolt in Scotland against the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell from 1653 to 1654. It was led by William Cunningham, 9th Earl of Glencairn (1610–1664), who was given command of the Royalist forces in Scotland by Charles II. Initially successful, it began to suffer divisions when John Middleton arrived to replace Glencairn as commander, resulting in a series of duels between officers.
