Tour Scotland video of photographs of the Soldier's Leap at the Pass of Killiecrankie on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire, Scotland. The Battle of Killiecrankie, 27th of July 1689, was the first and most significant of the battles of the first Jacobite rebellion. Although it was an important victory for the Jacobites, it also resulted in the death of the rebel leader, Viscount Dundee, a major factor in the subsequent collapse of the uprising. Donald MacBean, one of William III of England's supporters, on seeing the battle was lost, is said to have cleared the gorge, from one bank to the other, at The Soldier's Leap. The battlefield has been included in the Inventory of Historic Battlefields in Scotland and protected by Historic Scotland under the Scottish Historical Environment Policy.
