Book Synopsis The Scottish Regiments by : Ted Nevill
Download or read book The Scottish Regiments written by Ted Nevill and published by Crowood Press. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scottish soldiers have served the British Crown in their own distinct units since the 17th century - a 300-year record which makes one Scottish regiment, by virtue of age, the senior unit of the British Army's line infantry. The history of these regiments - renowned in battle, and famous for their esprit de corps - has traced that of the British Army and Empire, expanding and contracting in war and peace. The Highland and Lowland regiments always had a particular character, and even in the days when units were known by numbers their semi-official names meant a lot more: the 42nd Foot were the Black Watch, the 92nd the Gordon Highlanders, the 2nd Dragoons the Scots Greys, and many others. They have made these names famous on a hundred battlefields - from the Great Lakes to Egypt, from Portugal to Waterloo, from Afghanistan to Zululand, from the Somme to Normandy, from Korea to the Gulf War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scottish soldier has been at war for over 2000 years. Until now, no reference work has attempted to examine this vast heritage of warfare.A Military History of Scotland offers readers an unparalleled insight into the evolution of the Scottish military tradition.

Edited by three leading military historians, and featuring contributions from thirty scholars, it explores the role of warfare in the emergence of a Scottish kingdom, the forging of a Scottish-British military identity, and the participation of Scots in Britain's imperial and world wars. Eschewing a narrow definition of military history, it investigates the cultural and physical dimensions of Scotland's military past such as Scottish military dress and music, the role of the Scottish soldier in art and literature, Scotland's fortifications and battlefield archaeology, and Scotland's military memorials and museum collections.

Download or read book Sword of Scotland written by Anthony Leask and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2006-06-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sword of Scotland is the story of Scotland's military heritage. Scotland's fighting men have played a part in shaping the history of our world, and many of the individual countries in it. Its contribution and its sacrifices have been out of all proportion to the size of the Country. The skirl of the pipes and the cry of 'here come the Jocks' have weakened the resolve of many a foe. The Jocks of every Scottish regiment conjure up an image of fierce determination and indomitable courage. To them defeat is unthinkable. The various reasons for this are key themes of this book. The geography of Scotland and its numerous wars with England have played their part. But for over 300 years Scottish regiments have fought with distinction and selfless sacrifice alongside their old foes and played a key role in preserving Britain's freedom. The clan structure and the tremendous pride in family that this has produced over the centuries are the foundations of the regiments of Scotland and their greatest strength in adversity. Everyone with a Scottish connection will understand and be able to relate to this book, which is the story of an unrivalled military heritage

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.

Book Synopsis Scotland and the British Army, 1700-1750 by : Victoria Henshaw
Download or read book Scotland and the British Army, 1700-1750 written by Victoria Henshaw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wholesale assimilation of Scots into the British Army is largely associated with the recruitment of Highlanders during and after the Seven Years War. This important new study demonstrates that the assimilation of Lowland and Highland Scots into the British Army was a salient feature of its history in the first half of the 18th century and was already well advanced by the outbreak of the Seven Years War. Scotland and the British Army, 1700-1750 analyses the wider policing functions of the British Army, the role of Scotland's militia and the development of Scotland's military roads and institutions to provide a fuller understanding of the purpose and complexity of Scotland's military organisation and presence in Scotland in the turbulent decades between the Glorious Revolution and the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie, which has been too often simplified as an army of occupation for the suppression of Jacobitism. Instead, Victoria Henshaw reveals the complexities and difficulties experienced by Scottish soldiers of all ranks in the British Army as nationality, loyalty and prejudice clouded Scottish desires to use military service to defend the Glorious Revolution and the Union of 1707.
