==Background==
The forts of Augustus and William had long been a thorn in the side of the western Scottish clans, and when their clan chiefs saw how easily Fort George (the original Fort George that was built on the site of Inverness Castle) was taken, they clamoured for the siege of the forts Augustus and William.〔Duffy, Christopher. (2007). ''The '45, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Untold Story of the Jacobite Rising.'' p. 451. ISBN 978-0-7538-2262-3.〕 The Jacobite leader ''Prince'' Charles Edward Stuart obliged and released the Irish piquets, Royal Ecossais and more than 1,500 clansmen of Cameron of Lochiel, MacDonald of Lochgarry (Glengarry) and MacDonald of Keppoch who descended on Fort Augustus at the end of February 1746.〔
