“CATERAN” на українській мові

But despite the commanders, the dukes, marquises knights and princes it is the common cateran who has left his mark.

How, then, do we account for another footnoted passage, in Chapter 32, referring to the surprise attack by Rob Roy's caterans on the English horsemen under Captain Thornton?

In 1390, on Robert II's death, Buchan and his caterans burned Forres, and then Elgin burgh and cathedral, in reprisals for Moray's actions.
