In 1679 the Covenanters, a group of Presbyterians bound by oath to sustain each other in the defense of their religion, signed the "Rutherglen Declaration" to support the protestant effort to seize power in Scotland. Around 1500 of them marched to engage the government dragoons at Drumclog. The covenanters outnumbered the dragoons 10-1 and routed them at the Battle of Drumclog. Their victory was shortlived as civil war loomed the government troops rallied and slaughtered them shortly after the Battle of Bothwell Bridge Around 600 covenanters were killed,the remaining taken capture, imprisoned and deported to America. I believe the Rutherglen Declaration was signed at the Parish Church in Rutherglen Main Street. Here is a photo of the church. Ixus2

They must've been deleted from the source David as I never posted them it has nothing to do with me as I can only control photos that I have in my personal photobucket but I will try and get them back on as I am working on the Covenaters site for our new style of board.
