Begitu kabar kekalahan pasukan Skotlandia sampai ke Edinburgh, masyarakat menjadi panik lalu berbondong-bondong mengungsi meninggalkan kota itu, tetapi Leslie mengumpulkan sisa pasukannya, lantas mendirikan tanggul pertahanan baru di [[titik sempit|laluan sempit]] [[Stirling]] yang strategis.<!-- There he was joined by the bulk of the government, clergy, and Edinburgh's mercantile elite.{{sfn|Woolrych|2002|p=487}} [[Major-general (United Kingdom)|Major-general]] [[John Lambert (general)|John Lambert]] was sent to capture Edinburgh, which fell on 7 September, while Cromwell marched on the port of Leith, which offered much better facilities for landing supplies and reinforcements than Dunbar. Without Leslie's army to defend them, both were captured with little difficulty.{{sfn|Woolrych|2002|p=487}} Cromwell took pains to persuade the citizens of Edinburgh that his war was not with them; he promised their property would be respected, and allowed them to come and go freely, hold markets, and observe their usual religious services, although the latter were restricted as most of the clergy had removed to Stirling. He also took steps to secure food for the city, which by this point was short on supplies.{{sfn|Woolrych|2002|pp=487–488}} [[Edinburgh Castle]] held out until December,{{sfn|Furgol|2002|p=69}} but since it was cut off from reinforcement and supplies and offered no threat, Cromwell did not assault it, and treated its commander with courtesy.{{sfn|Woolrych|2002|p=487}} Austin Woolrych described the behaviour of the occupying troops as "exemplary", and observed that after a short time many fugitives returned to the city, and its economic life returned to something akin to normality.{{sfn|Woolrych|2002|p=488}}
