The battle-ground being so near the
old Church of Tockholes, it may be supposed that the bodies
of the soldiers killed in the action would afterwards be re-
moved for burial to the consecrated ground ; which would
account for the absence of human bones along with those of
the horses."* Alongside this may be placed the statement of
two other persons. The Rev. Gilmour Robinson, Incumbent
of Tockholes Church from 1830 to 1856, and who was there-
fore near the spot when the remains were exhumed, says : —
" Cannon balls have been found at various times in the town-
ship, one in the churchyard. And about the same time
skeletons of about 20 horses were found without any remains
of iron, no doubt remnants of the Cromwellian \Var."t

Vice Gilmour Robinson, on half pay Meuron's regiment, who retires.

There are dozens and dozens of articles mentioning him as Reverend up until his death in 1857.

G.R. was in the Napoleonic Wars. I have a lot of information on him. But does anyone know when he left the 59th Foot and for what reason. Also was he on "The Seahorse" which sunk off the coast of Ireland in 1816. I know he was alive after that date and became curate of Tockholes later on. But would love to know if he was with his battallion on that ship and if not for what reason. Many thanks. Kathy
