Bataille de Pinkie Cleugh
La bataille de Pinkie Cleugh se déroula le 10 septembre 1547 sur les rives de la rivière Esk (en), à proximité de Musselburgh, en Écosse, et fait partie de la guerre dite du rough wooing. Il s'agit de la dernière bataille entre les armées royales écossaise et anglaise, et de la première bataille « moderne » à se dérouler dans les Îles Britanniques, faisant preuve d'une coopération active entre les forces d'infanterie, d'artillerie, et de cavalerie. Ce fut une défaite catastrophique pour les Écossais en raison de l'utilisation par les Anglais de l'artillerie navale, pour la première fois dans une bataille terrestre en Grande-Bretagne. En Écosse, cet épisode est connu sous le nom de Black Saturday (« samedi noir »).
