Precisely, Rex. Cluny and his Macphersons were indeed further south in Badenoch, participating in a bit of a skirmish there whilst en route to Culloden, but unfortunately, they arrived much too late. Dr. Alan G. Macpherson of St. John's, Newfoundland, describes this account in great detail in his book, "A Day's March to Ruin."
