In the pages of the Fife and Drum forum was where I first saw pictures of the figures for this regiment. They were very different and had a air about them. The short coats and bonnets are Scottish, but there is also something French about them. So with my first order I made sure I got a regiment.
My reading about their history suggests the uniform was what might have been worn when they landed in Scotland to assist in the 1745 Rebellion. Along with the picqets from the Irish Brigade they were the token effort sent by France to help out. At Culloden they covered the retreat of the Jacobite right wing from the battle.
Figures are from Crann Tara miniatures. Flag from GMB design.
I love them
