Looking at the '41 Census, there are 8 households recorded with the address "Shorts, Ide, St. Thomas".

Put "Ide" in "Type a Placename" and click on drop down box returned (only 1 hit in this instance!).
When modern map returned just click on map (any spot) to generate old maps and click on year of choice.

From Crookshank's 1762 description of the battle

"They (the Covenanters) were scarce formed in this manner when an alarm came that a body of men was approaching them; they found it was Dalziel's van, which had cut through a ridge in the Pentland hills, and came upon them undiscovered, til they were within a quarter of a mile, upon a hill over against them. Colonel Wallace upon this sent Captain Arnot, who repulsed Lieutenant General Drummond, who was sent by the General (Dalziel) with a select party to begin the attack ...... When the Lieutenant General was driven back, there was no small confusion among Dalziel's army, of whom not a few threw down their arms. Major Lamont made the second attack, and repulsed the enemy; Duke Hamilton narrowly escaping. The last encounter was after sunset, when the General's foot, flanked with their horse upon all hands, overpowered the Colonel's little army, and routed them"

Lyndsey,
Great to hear about the allotment - that's where I'd be at this moment if the weather was better.

9 hits for "learmont (no "h") - not all Joseph.

It includes a description of the battle (page 181)
