On 8 November 1745, the Jacobite army crossed the River Tweed at Coldstream and Kelso and entered England. This was a momentous act — the last time a Scottish army invaded England. The Border area was effectively undefended, and the Jacobites crossed unopposed. The army divided for the march south — one column via Jedburgh and Carlisle, another via Kelso and Brampton — to avoid straining local food supplies. The entry into England was conducted in good order. The march south tested whether English Jacobitism would produce the mass rising Charles anticipated. It did not.
