===Conclusion: casualties and prisoners=== Jacobite [[casualty (person)|casualties]] are estimated at between 1,500 and 2,000 killed or wounded, with many of them occurring in the pursuit after the battle.<ref name="SR2002-8587">Pittock (2016).</ref><ref name="PH1991-83">Harrington (1991), p. 83.</ref> Cumberland's official list of prisoners taken includes 154 Jacobites and 222 "French" prisoners (men from the "foreign units" in the French service). Added to the official list of those apprehended were 172 of the Earl of Cromartie's men, captured after a [[Battle of Littleferry|brief engagement the day before]] near [[Littleferry]]. In striking contrast to the Jacobite losses, the government losses were reported as 50 dead and 259 wounded. Of the 438 men of Barrell's 4th Foot, 17 were killed and 104 were wounded. However, a large proportion of those recorded as wounded are likely to have died of their wounds. Only 29 men out of the 104 wounded from Barrell's 4th Foot later survived to claim pensions, and all six of the artillerymen recorded as wounded later died.<ref name="SR2002-8587"/> Several senior Jacobite commanding officers were casualties, including [[Alexander Macdonald, 17th of Keppoch|Keppoch]]; [[William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan|Viscount Strathallan]]; Commissary-General Lachlan Maclachlan; and Walter Stapleton, who died of wounds shortly after the battle. Others, including [[William Boyd, 4th Earl of Kilmarnock|Kilmarnock]], were captured. The only high-ranking government officer casualty was [[Lord Robert Kerr]], the son of [[William Kerr, 3rd Marquess of Lothian]]. [[Sir Robert Rich, 5th Baronet]], who was a lieutenant-colonel and the senior officer commanding Barrell's 4th Foot, was badly wounded, losing his left hand and receiving several wounds to his head. A number of captains and lieutenants had also been wounded.
