Add glory to the past

This is written at the bottom of the plaque on the north side of this monument commemorating the Battle of Corrichie. This is on the Raemore road to Banchory and used to be in trees and hidden but not anymore. The Battle of Corrichie, This was a battle fought near Meikle Tap, on 28 October 1562. It was fought between the forces of George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly, chief of Clan Gordon against the forces of Mary, Queen of Scots under James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray.
George Gordon had defeated the English twenty years earlier at the Battle of Haddon Rig, however at Corrichie he was defeated by Queen Mary's forces, and apparently he died of apoplexy after his capture. Mary had come in person to the north of Scotland intent on confronting the power of the Gordons. At Corrichie, the Gordon's tactic of charging with swords was defeated by Moray's pike drill. Gordon was tried for his crimes in Edinburgh in 1563 even though he had been dead for nearly a year. His son was beheaded three days after the battle in Aberdeen. So I am not too sure there is any glory in this past!
