Pinkie, a battle fought on 10th September 1547 near Musselburgh in Midlothian between 14,000 English under the Protector Somerset and twice that number of Scots. The latter were utterly defeated, more than 10,000, it is said, being killed on the field and in the pursuit, whilst the English loss was barely 200.
