In Scotland, a group of over a thousand discontented religious radicals marched on Edinburgh to protest concerning the Restoration government\'s favourable policy towards Episcopalianism. The rebels were met in the Pentland Hills by a force of government troops and defeated. The rising caused the government to reconsider its views and, under John Maitland, Duke of Lauderdale, they began a policy of granting concessions to the discontented groups.
