It details the process, commencing in the late seventeenth century, of the gradual integration of Hig^and regiments into the regular British Army and the deployment of these units to North America. It also demonstrates how the garrisoning of these soldiers in Nova Scotia was designed to both contain the French and deal with their allies, the indigenous Mi'kmaq. It argues that the policy to allow discharged soldiers to settlein the colonywas a product of these circumstances. While it has proven difGcult to locate individual soldiers, by either rank or nationality this thesis has uncovered enougb evidence to demonstrate that Highland sol­ diers were indeed settled in the colony prior to 1775 and that this aspect of Nova Scotian settlement history is worthy o f further investigation. Acknowledgements I would like to thank D r Michael Vance, my thesis supervisor at St. Mary's University for his flexibility and shared interest in many aspects o f Scottish history that Erst attracted me to St. Mary's to do my graduate program. It was Dr. Vance's extensive knowledge, guidance, Eiendship and padent leadership that kept me moving forward throu^ an extended study process. Without his support, encouragement and gentle persua­ sions, I could not have maintained the direction of my studies, and could easily have become a casuality along fhe road of academic pursuit. I would also like to thank Dr. John Reid of St. Mary's University for opening my eyes to the MlTCmaq of Nova Scotia and their long and difEcult series o f conflicts with the British throughout the greater part of the eigjiteenth century Thanks also to Dr. Ron McDonald, Manager of Cultural Affairs for the Hah&x Defence Complex, Department of Canadian Hedtage, for his leadership and insig^tfulness into the history of the British Army especially in Nova Scotia. I would be remiss if I did not also thank Dr. Ian Dowbiggin, Chair of the Department of History and Dr. Richard Kurial, Dean of Arts, at the University of Prince EdwardIsland for introducing me tothe study o f history and for their encouragement and their friendship. While not necessary I want to thank my wife Mary for her love, patience and understanding, and for doing much more than her share over the past ten years. And to my sons, Geoffrey with whom I shared three interesting years of undergraduate study Jonathan who has taught me patience through adversity and Jamieson who has shown me the importance o f sharing and having fun. As suggested by the late Jerry Garda, 'Svhat a long strange ride it's been..." Preface la the early Spnog of 1990 I was standing alone on CuHoden Moor, wind and rain blowing in my Eice. I recognized then I wanted to know more of the Highlanders who faced the Army of the Duke of Cumberland on April 16th, 1746, on this cold and damp piece of ground just east of Inverness. In the time diat has passed since the reafhrmation of my awakening to the Scottish military tradition, I have completed my Bachelor's of Arts degree and my Honours degree in history at the University of Prince Edward Island. With the acceptance of this thesis, I wiH have completed my Master's of Arts degree in History at St. Mary's University in Halifax — all in an effort to gain knowledge of a people who were the forbears of my father, his father, and his father before him. It was not long before I was emersed in the military ethos o f the eighteenth centu­ ry; searching wildly for a speHEc theme and time on which to focus that part of my energy reserved for academic pursuits. The idea to undertake research on the settlement of Hig^aland soldiers in Nova Scotia came from my supervisor. Dr. Michael Vance, now Chairman of the Department of History at St. Mary's University. Recognizing my interest in military history, and my desire to undertake research in som e field of Scottish history, Dr. Vance suggested examining the context of soldier-settlement, with a Scottish twist. It seemed the perfect compromise that would allow a review of the history of Hig^iland soldiers in the British army during the eighteendi centur]^ the Seven Yeats Wiar, and the settlement o f disbanded soldiers in Nova Scotia, while avoiding the Loyalist immigrations that foEowed the defeat of the British in 1776 and the potential quagmire o f genaeology that often accompanies settlement research. The challenge for this project lay in a joint-decision by Dr. Vance and myself to limit my research to private soldiers and non-commissioned officers, avoiding where possi­ ble the settlement of commissioned officers, especially those of senior rank. Given that private soldiers and sergeants did not carry their rank with them upon disbandment as did many senior oEScers, especially those on halF-pay^ the search became an interesting chal­ lenge Occassional references to junior ofGcers (Subalterns, Ensigns, Lieutenants and Captains) do surface, while those related to senior ofhcers (Majors, Lieutenant-Colonels and Colonels) are a rare occurance While sources such as land grant documents are help­ ful, they do not give the whole story — only that warrants were issued and grants given. This is not a military history, but one which is built around a military framework as relates to soldier-settlement within the context of Nova Scotia. To achieve this objective it was necessary to take a '%uilding-block" approach, which required a look into the ranks of the British Army to End Highland soldiers in North America. This, in turn, necessitated examination of the concepto f imperialism and its application as policy during the first half of the eighteenth century. Thislead me to the relationship between the French and British and the Mi'kmag of Nova Scotia, the French and Indian (the Seven Years Wat), and finally the settlement of Highland soldiers in Nova Scotia through landgrants offered by the Royal ProdamaEon of 1763. The development of the thesis became very much likecreating “a doughnut”,in which the hole is defined by the surrounding walls. The Colonial Office records at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia provided the primarysource material. In particular, the LandPapers helped locate grants to Highlanders, private soldiers and non-commissioned officers. The land grants records, while numerous, were less helpful as there is seldom any identification of former soldiers, although the occasional record will identify a senior offi- cer as the grantee. This paper is not an extensive record of Highland soldier-setdement in Nova Scotia. It is, however, an introduction to an important aspect of the history of Nova Scotia and a topic that requires more study^ possibly at the doctorate level Introduction A^üch bas been written of the social and economic conditions that prompted thousands of Scots to leave their homes and sail for new lands in British North America during the 18th century^ Not all who did so, however, were intentional immigrants. Prominent among those who settled in the North American colonies were Highland soldiers who left the British army when discharged, or when their reg^ents were disband­ ed following service to the King during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). The wat; actually a continuation o f eadier Bg^ting suspended by the Treaty of Aix- la-ChapeUe in 1748, was fought extensively in North America, where it was referred to as the 'Trench and Indian War". It was, in fact, a war for empire, with Britain determined to end France's role as a colonial power.^ As James Hunter points out, it was also a war fought in part by Highland regiments whose leaders “had now concluded that their future, if they were to have one, lay in putting lingering Jacobite sympathies Brmly behind them and getting on to better termswith the Hanoverian establishment.This the French and Indian War was to enable them to do".^ With the capture o f the French fortress at Louisbotug in 1758 and the fall of Quebec in 1759, the conflict in North America drew to 1.

INTRODUCTION Three earlier visits to Canada from the United States (1954, 1957, 1964) had shown me that Canada ranks among the most progressive honey-producing countries of the world. It is also one of the most productive, on the basis of the honey yield per colony, and consistently shares with Australia the first world place for national average yield*. I had seen beekeeping in small sections of Ontario and British Columbia, and heard sporadic accounts of what was going on elsewhere; but Canada is 3 200 miles across and 2 900 miles from north to south [5 300, 4 800 km.], and I met very few Canadians who had seen the more remote areas. One such area, Peace River, seemed to be an El Dorado as far as beekeeping was concerned, but I had been able to get very little first-hand information about it. I was therefore very pleased to receive an invitation from the bee­ keepers of Canada to travel through their country from coast to coast in June 1965, when beekeeping activity would be at its height. I covered about 5 000 miles by road (and many more by air) attended a number of beekeepers' meetings and took part in various other programmes, and visited nearly all the scientific institutes where bee research is being done.

Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 120 pp., bibliography, 138 titles. Following the failed Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46 many Highlanders fought for the British Army in the Seven Years War and American Revolutionary War. Although these soldiers were primarily motivated by economic considerations, their experiences were romanticized after Waterloo and helped to create a new, unified Scottish martial identity. This militaristic narrative, reinforced throughout the nineteenth century, explains why Scots fought and died in disproportionately large numbers during the First World War.

Abstract 119 Brigade, 40th Division, had an unusual origin as a ‘left-over’ brigade of the Welsh Army Corps and was the only completely bantam formation outside 35th Division. This study investigates the formation’s national identity and demonstrates that it was indeed strongly ‘Welsh’ in more than name until 1918. New data on the social background of men and officers is added to that generated by earlier studies. The examination of the brigade’s actions on the Western Front challenges the widely held belief that there was an inherent problem with this and other bantam formations. The original make-up of the brigade is compared with its later forms when new and less efficient units were introduced.
