EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of the Highland Infantry in the early 19th century, with two officers proudly displaying their Scottish heritage and military prowess. On the left stands a member of the 76th (Scotland) Regiment of Foot, also known as the "Scot's Greys," with his kilt hitched up and his sword held in the fronting position. His tartan, a rich and intricate pattern of red, green, and black, is adorned with a sgian-dubh or "black knife" at his side. In contrast, the officer on the right is a member of the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot, commonly referred to as the "Black Watch." He faces to the right, the traditional Scottish military stance, with his musket slung over his shoulder and his sword at the ready. His kilt, featuring the distinctive Black Watch tartan, is adorned with a silver hilted broadsword and a dirk. Both officers are dressed in the full regimental uniform, complete with bonnets, sporrans, and belted plaid. The 76th and 42nd Regiments were two of the most famous Scottish infantry regiments in the British Army during this period, and their distinctive uniforms and martial traditions made them a formidable presence on the battlefield. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of the Scottish military and the proud tradition of the Highland Infantry in the early 19th century.
