  • SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.

A framework was established to show how Highlanders were deployed by the English between 1745 and 1815 as a way of eradicating radical Jacobite elements from the Scottish Highlands and utilizing their supposed natural superiority in combat.

  • 42Nd Band Tartan C1820
    42nd Regiment Band or Musicians’ Tartan Introduction Regimental Bands have been part of Highland Regiments since the late 18th century; however, they, unlike pipers, were not part of the official regimental establishment until later. Until shortly after Waterloo (1815) bandsmen wore the standard regimental uniform and were accounted for in the muster rolls as rank and file (but noted as musicians) and fought as soldiers. For reasons that are not clear the Band of Music, as it was known, went to white jackets in the 1820’s and sometime after were clothed in a red tartan. A variety of tartans were used by various regimental bands until they became part of the official establishment in the 1850s, at which time they generally adopted either the regimental, or the Royal Stewart tartan. The Band Tartan In their 1819 Key Pattern Book the weaving firm Wm. Wilson & Son of Bannockburn include the following comment under their instructions for the 42nd Regiment tartan: To make the band or musicians Plaids you have only to put Scarlet in place of the Black in the Sergts Plaids. The band and the Sergeants' are of the same quality. The effect of replacing the black of the Government tartan (commonly called the Black Watch) to make this ‘red’ sett is shown below (Plate 1). The resulting blue, green and red tartan is striking and makes the blue appear dominant compared with the standard 42nd setting. Plate 1. The 42nd or Government tartan and colour change to form the Band or Music tartan. © The Author Wilsons’ details for the Sergeants’ plaids show that the Band tartan was woven 26 inches wide with ‘……3 half Setts and so much of the 4th until all the green in it is put on after which conclude with the red selvedge mark’.
