The Duke of Hamilton led the Scottish Engager army of 20,000 men south into England in 1648 to honour the treaty with Charles I. Cromwell destroyed this army at Preston. The preliminary operations involved Scottish forces crossing the border at Carlisle and skirmishing with English northern garrisons. The Lowland counties provided much of the Engager force. The defeat at Preston permanently ended Scottish military intervention in the English Civil War.
