According to the diary of James Miller, from Manchester, he and other private soldiers were imprisoned in the Cathedral, with no food or water for three days. On the fourth day a well in the Cathedral was broken open "which had not been used for upwards of an hundred years" from which they were obliged to drink, or die of thirst.

John Graham, or Bonnie Dundee was shot at the battle of Killiecrankie. He died at Blair Castle shortly after the battle and is buried at St Bride's Kirk which is on a hill near the castle.
