Menjelang akhir bulan Agustus, Monck sudah merebut Stirling, Alyth, dan St Andrews. Dundee dan Aberdeen adalah kota-kota utama terakhir yang belum dikuasai Inggris. Kuatnya perbentengan Dundee membuat banyak orang Skotlandia menyimpan uang dan barang berharga mereka di kota itu, supaya aman dari incaran Inggris. George Monck menurunkan seluruh pasukannya untuk mengepung Dundee pada tanggal 26 Agustus, lantas menuntut kota itu untuk menyerah. Lantaran yakin bahwa tembok kota dan laskar setempat cukup kuat untuk menahan gempuran Inggris, gubernur menolak menyerah. <!-- Infuriated at having to risk his men's lives with an assault when the war was all but over, Monck gave permission for the town to be [[looting|sacked]] once it was captured.
