Killing of Covenanters at Carsgailoch Hill, New Cumnock, 1685 was a ambush of the Jacobite Risings period, fought in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1685. This engagement forms part of the broader pattern of conflict that shaped the political and military history of the UK during this era.
Three Covenanters killed: Joseph Wilson, John Jamieson and John Humphrey (also spelled Umphrey); Alexander Jamieson was captured alive. A nearby monument also commemorates three women, Marion Cameron, Margaret Dunn and Annabel Dunn, shot on the same hill after returning from a conventicle on 14 April 1685, though some sources treat this as a separate incident
