The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders at Ceylon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the year 1886, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of colonial-era Sri Lanka. This historical print, created by William Ralston after an original artwork, showcases the renowned Scottish regiment as they disembark on Ceylon's shores. The scene is bustling with activity and cultural exchange. The first man ashore stands tall, his comrades following suit in their distinctive tartan kilts. Amidst the vibrant street scenes, rival snake charmers captivate both locals and soldiers alike with their mesmerizing performances. The highlanders are seen assisting and changing guard duties while exercising caution around native inhabitants. As astonishment fills the air, we witness moments of fraternization between these brave soldiers from Scotland and the people of Ceylon. From military quarters to Colombo's wharf, this engraving captures various encounters: officers engaging in conversation with locals; crying children observing in awe; even snakes becoming part of this unique interaction. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders' march past leaves a lasting impression on both old and young residents who have never witnessed such grandeur before. As they traverse through iconic locations like Kandy or Queen's House, these proud warriors bring a touch of Europe to Asia's shores. This remarkable print serves as a testament to the rich history shared between Scotland and Sri Lanka during this era - an extraordinary meeting point where cultures collide amidst admiration
