Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GARDINER, JAMES (1688-1745) , Scottish soldier, was born at Carriden in Linlithgowshire, on the 11th of January 1688. At the age of fourteen he entered a Scottish
regiment
  in the Dutch service, and was afterwards present at the
battle
  of Ramillies, where he was wounded. He subsequently served in different cavalry regiments, and in 1730 was advanced to the. rank of
lieutenant
 -colonel, and in 1743 to that of colonel. He
fell
  at- the
battle
  of
Prestonpans
 , the 21st of September 1745. The circumstances of his death are described in Sir Walter Scott's Waverley. In his early years he was distinguished for his recklessness and profligacy, but in 1719 a supernatural vision, as he regarded it, led to his conversion, and from that time he lived a
life
  of
great
  devoutness and of thorough consistency with his
Christian
  profession. Dr Alexander Carlyle of Inveresk, author of an autobiography, says that he was " very ostentatious " about his conversionspeaks of him as weak, and plainly thinks there was a
great
  deal of delusion in Col. Gardiner's
account
  of his sins.
His
life
  was written by Dr Philip Doddridge and has been often reprinted.
