Enemy having quitt Garth Castle, a small Castle and nott
considerable, leaving 30 armes (most charged) behinde
them order was given for the burning of itt. From thence
I marched to Ruth\ en in Badgenoth, where I had notice of
Middleton's being w ith his whole force about Glengaries
Bounds, which hasten'd m}- March the 20th to Cluny, and
from thence the next day to Glenroy, which being the first
