The French and Indian War from Scottish Sources
Author: David Dobson
Publisher: Genealogical Publishing Com
ISBN: 0806352116
Category : Canada
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Although the oldest regiment in the British Army is the 1st Royal regiment of Foot, usually known as the Royal Scots, it was not until the French and Indian War (known in Europe as the Seven Years War) that Scottish regiments played a significant role in the Army. In fact, between 1756 and 1763, Britain raised 10 regiments of Scots Highlanders to fight in the European and American theaters of that conflict. Many Scottish veterans of this conflict chose to stay in the colonies (sometimes returning to Scotland to bring families and friends back with them). The personal papers of various Scottish combatants, reflecting their nation's participation in or the perspective on that famous conflict, can be found at the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Fighting for Identity
Author: Steve Murdoch
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004474307
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
This volume examines the impact of military activity upon Scotland's national identity as the country underwent a fundamental transition through domestic centralisation at the turn of the seventeenth century, integration into the United Kingdom in 1707, and as a partner in Britain's global empire during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is divided into three thematic sections that examine the evolution of Scottish military identity over the early modern period, how the Highland region moved from a relationship of hostility to the Lowland political authorities to the central element in eighteenth and ninteenth century Scottish soldiering, and, finally, how aspects of Scotland's civilian society interrelated with her soldiers.
