On the next page we give an engraving of_The Scottish Highlands, Highland Clans and Highland Regiments, Volume 2 (of 2)

of plate belonging to the officer’s mess, which was designed by

one of the officers of the regiment. The sculpture on one side

is supposed to represent the shot-riven wall of an outwork at

Sebastopol, where an officer of the 93rd contemplates the dead

body of a Russian soldier lying near a private of the regiment,

who reclines severely wounded, the regimental pipe-major, in a

commanding position above the group, playing “the gathering.” The

other side (which we engrave) has an exact reproduction from a

photograph of one of the gateway towers of the Secunder Bagh at

Lucknow, for an account of the storming of which place in November

1857, see pages 790, 791. An officer and private of the 93rd, and

a dead Sepoy, emblematise that terrible Indian struggle and its

result. Ornamental silver shields on each side of the ebony pedestal

bear on one side the badge of the regiment, and on the other the

presentation inscription, describing it as a memorial from some of

the officers (whose names run round a silver rim on the top of the

pedestal) of the part taken by the regiment in the Crimean war of

1854, and suppression of the Indian Mutiny in 1857.

This splendid work of art was inspected by Her Majesty the Queen

at Windsor Castle in July 1870, when she was graciously pleased

to express her approval both of the design and workmanship. It

cost the subscribers nearly £500; and when we consider that it

_exactly_ reproduces the dresses, &c., of the regiment at the period

represented, time will greatly enhance its present value. The

uniform and accoutrements of the Russian soldier are of one of the

regiments overthrown by the 93rd at the Alma, and those of the Sepoy

the dress of one of those rebel corps entirely annihilated in the

Secunder Bagh.

We have the pleasure of giving, on the Plate of Colonels of the 91st,

92nd, and 93rd regiments, the portrait of Major-General Wm. Wemyss of

Wemyss, from a painting by Raeburn, at Wemyss Castle, Fife; and that

of Sir Henry W. Stisted, K.C.B., from a photograph.

91st, 92nd, and 93rd regiments.

[569] At Guernsey, on May 6, 1802, died at the age of 40, Sergeant

Sam. M’Donald, well known at the time by the appellation of “Big

Sam.” He served in the American War, was afterwards fugleman to the

Royals, and subsequently lodge porter at Carlton House. In 1793 he

was appointed sergeant in the Sutherland Fencibles, joining the 93rd

when it was raised. He measured 6 ft. 10 in. in height, 4 feet round

the chest, was strongly built, muscular, and well-proportioned. His

strength was prodigious, but he was never known to abuse it. His tomb

was restored by the non-commissioned officers of the 79th Cameron

Highlanders in 1820, and in 1870 by the officers of the 93rd.

[570] In 1813 a second battalion was added to the regiment. It was

formed at Inverness, and after some instructions in discipline, was

destined to join the army under the Duke of Wellington in France;

but owing to the peace of 1814 this destination was changed to North

America. This battalion was embarked, and landed in Newfoundland,

where it was stationed sixteen months, and then returning to Europe

in 1815, was reduced soon after landing.

APPENDIX TO THE 42ND ROYAL HIGHLAND REGIMENT, THE BLACK WATCH.

1873-1875.

The Ashantee Campaign--Malta.

We left the Black Watch at Devonport in the beginning of 1873, with

no likelihood then of its being called upon to engage in actual

service. On the Gold Coast of Africa, however, mischief had been

brewing for many years, and during the course of 1873 the conduct of

Coffee Calcallee, king of the barbarous country of Ashantee, had been

such that unless a decisive blow were immediately struck, Britain

would be compelled to resign possession of her territory in that

part of the African coast; and, as our readers no doubt know, that

territory had been considerably increased by the cession to Britain,

in 1872, of the Dutch possessions on the Gold Coast. Thus in 1873 the

coast for many miles, both east and west of Cape Coast Castle, the

seat of government, was under the British protection. The principal

native population of the territory are the Fantees, who from years of

oppression had been reduced to a state of abject cowardice, as was

but too well shown in the brief campaign against their inland enemy,

the King of Ashantee. The Ashantee territory extends northwards from

the Gold Coast to a distance of about 300 miles, its middle being

traversed by the River Prah, which flows in the upper part of its

course from east to west, but turns at Prah-su towards the south,

and reaches the sea at Chamah, to the west of Cape Coast Castle.

The capital of the Ashantee territory is Coomassie, about 100 miles

directly north from Cape Coast Castle, and about half that distance

north of the bend of the Prah, at the town of Prah-su. The population

of Coomassie had been very much exaggerated. At the commencement of

the campaign it was probably between 20,000 and 30,000. Here the

despotic King of Ashantee lived in great state, and in the indulgence

of the superstitious and terribly cruel practices known as the

Ashantee “Customs.” It is hoped that the lesson which has been read

him by a handful of British soldiers will ultimately lead to the

abolition of these “Customs,” and to a general amelioration of the

miserable lot of the peoples in that part of Africa.

[Illustration: MAP ILLUSTRATING THE ASHANTEE CAMPAIGN.]

We need not enter upon the very complicated event which led to the

British Government sending out an expedition, under the determined,

clear-headed, and accomplished Sir Garnet Wolseley, C.B., to let

this barbarous despot know the strength of the British arm. The

measures hitherto taken to keep the Ashantees in their place had

been so inadequate, that their kings had become intolerably bold and

confident, and had indeed acquired an utter contempt of the British

power as exhibited on the Gold Coast. King Coffee Calcallee resolved,

about the end of 1872, to strike such a blow as would utterly stamp

out the British rule on that coast. And in January 1873 an army

of 60,000 warriors--and the Ashantees though cruel are brave and

warlike--was in full march upon Cape Coast Castle. The whole force

at the disposal of Colonel Harley, in whom the administration was

vested, was about 1000 men, mainly West India troops and Houssa

police, with some marines. It was estimated that a contingent of

about 60,000 would be raised from the friendly tribes, but this

number figured only on paper. By April the Ashantees were within a

few miles of Cape Coast Castle. Things were getting desperate, when a

small force of marines, under Lt.-Col. Festing, arrived from England

in the beginning of June. With this and other small reinforcements,

the English managed to keep the barbarians at bay until the arrival,

on October 2nd, on the Gold Coast of Major-General Sir Garnet J.

Wolseley, who had been selected to command a force which was being

organised in England to sweep back the threatening horde. He was

accompanied only by his staff, and immediately on landing set about

clearing the Ashantees out of several towns in the neighbourhood

of Cape Coast Castle. Sir Garnet’s clear-headedness and admirable

power of organisation soon inspired the few troops at his command

with perfect confidence; and by the time the force of which the 42nd

formed part arrived at the Gold Coast, everything was prepared for an

advance towards the capital of the Ashantee kingdom. We cannot linger

over the preliminary work in which Lord Gifford, Colonel Festing, the

unfortunate Lieut. Eardley-Wilmot, and other officers whose names are

now familiar to the British public, played a prominent part. By the

end of November the Ashantee force was in full retreat on Coomassie,

and by the end of December General Wolseley with his staff and some

500 sailors and marines was at Prah-su.

[Illustration: Major-General Sir Garnet J. Wolseley, K.C.M.G., C.B.

Meantime the small force which had been organising in England was

on its way to the scene of operations. The 42nd was the principal

regiment of the line, as a large part of the 23rd Welsh Fusileers

had to re-embark, owing to the desertion of some thousands of

native carriers who had been engaged to carry the necessary baggage

through the unwholesome country. As we said at the conclusion of the

history of the 79th, a considerable number of volunteers from that

regiment accompanied the Black Watch, which left Portsmouth on the

4th of December 1873, and arrived off Cape Coast Castle on the 17th,

disembarking on the 3rd and 4th of January 1874. Besides the 23rd,

42nd, and 2nd battalion Rifle Brigade, there were detachments of

Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, and Royal Marines, which, with the

force already on the ground, formed the army with which Sir Garnet

Wolseley was to pierce into the very heart of the Ashantee kingdom,

through a country of marshes and matted forests, the growth of

centuries, and forming an almost impenetrable ambush for the enemy,

who knew how to take advantage of it. As Lord Derby remarked, this

was to be “an engineers’ and doctors’ war.” The engineers worked

admirably in the construction of roads, bridges, telegraphs, and

camps; and it became simply a question whether the British soldiers

would be able to hold out against the pestiferous climate long enough

to enable them to reach Coomassie and return to the Gold Coast ere

the heavy rains set in in the early spring. Happily the energy,

skill, and knowledge of General Wolseley were quite equal to the

emergency; and backed by an able and determined staff, and his small

force of brave and willing soldiers, he accomplished his mission with

complete success. All possible preparations were made on the road to

Prah-su, previous to the commencement of the march of the main body,

in order that not a moment of the precious time might be lost,--the

white troops must be back, and ready to embark by the end of February.

We have said that at starting there was considerable difficulty in

procuring a sufficient number of native carriers for the baggage

of the small force. This caused some delay after the landing of

the force at Mansu, some distance to the north of Cape Coast

Castle,--which delay, a 42nd officer said with truth, “did more harm

to our men than all the hard work in Ashantee.” To Europeans idleness

in such a climate is utterly prostrating. In the dearth of carriers,

the 42nd men themselves, greatly to their honour, volunteered to act

as porters. On the 23rd of January General Wolseley with the advanced

guard had crossed the Adansi Hills, and fixed his headquarters at

Fomannah, the palace of the Adansi king. On the 26th Colonel M’Leod

of the 42nd, who commanded the advanced guard, took Borborassie.

After this service the 23rd Fusileers, 42nd, Rifle Brigade, the 2nd

West India Regiment, and the Naval Brigade, which by this time had

reached Prah-su, were brought forward, resting on Insarfu. They

encamped on the night of the 30th about that place, and about two

miles north of it, towards the enemy’s main position at Amoaful. The

advanced guard, under Colonel M’Leod, was at Quarman, within a mile

or two of the enemy’s position.

The entire country hereabout is one dense mass of brush, penetrated

by a few narrow lanes, “where the ground, hollowed by rains, is

so uneven and steep at the sides as to give scanty footing. A

passenger,” to quote the _London News’_ narrative, “between the two

walls of foliage, may wander for hours before he finds that he has

mistaken his path. To cross the country from one narrow clearing

to another, axes or knives must be used at every step. There is no

looking over the hedge in this oppressive and bewildering maze. Such

was the battlefield of January 31st. The enemy’s army was never seen,

but its numbers are reported by Ashantees to have been 15,000 or

20,000. Its chief commander was Amanquatia, the Ashantee general. The

Ashantees were generally armed with muskets, firing slugs; but some

had rifles. As they were entirely concealed in the bush, while our

countrymen stood in the lane or in the newly-cut spaces, precision of

aim was no advantage to our side.”

The main body of the enemy was encamped on the hill rising towards

the town of Amoaful; but thousands of them also must have been

skulking in the bush through which the small British force had to

march before reaching the encampment. At early dawn on the 31st the

British force moved upon the village of Egginassie, where the first

shots were fired from an Ashantee ambush. The force was carefully

arranged to suit the nature of the ground, with a front column, a

left column, a right column, and a rear column, all so disposed that

when they closed up they would form a square, the columns taking in

spaces to the right and left of the central line of advance, so as to

prevent any attack on the advancing front centre.

The front column was commanded by Brigadier-General Sir Archibald

Alison, Bart., C.B. It consisted of the 42nd, under Major Baird,

Major Duncan Macpherson, and Major Scott, a detachment of the 23rd

Fusileers, Captain Rait’s Artillery, manned by Houssas, and a

detachment of the Royal Engineers. The left column was commanded

by Brigadier-Colonel M’Leod of the 42nd, and the right column by

Lt.-Col. Evelyn Wood, 90th Light Infantry; part of the right column

consisted of miscellaneous native African levies, under Captain Furze

of the 42nd. The paths through the jungle were cut for each column of

troops by large parties of native labourers.

Thus clearing their way through the jungle, and often scarcely able

to obtain foothold from the slippery state of the marshy ground, the

force advanced against the enemy. When the front of the small force

had got a few hundred yards beyond the village of Egginassie, it

was assailed by a tremendous fire of musketry from an unseen foe,

very trying to the nerves even of an experienced and well-trained

soldier. By this time five companies of the 42nd were in skirmishing

order. The slugs were dropping thick and fast; had they been bullets,

scarcely a man of the Black Watch would have lived to tell the tale.

As it was, there were few of the officers who did not receive a

scratch, and nearly 100 of the men were wounded. Major Macpherson was

shot in the leg, but limped on with a stick, and kept the command for

some time, when he was compelled to give it up to Major Scott. It

was at this critical moment that Capt. Rait’s gun--there was no room

for two--came into action at 50 yards from the enemy, on the direct

line of advance. The shells fired at that short distance, with deadly

effect, soon forced the enemy to clear the road. In a moment, as they

gave way upon their own left upon the road, the 42nd pushed them in

thence along the whole line, and they began to yield another 50 yards

or more, and Rait’s gun again came into action against the enemy,

who had at once taken up a fresh position, as the bush prevented the

Black Watch from forming quickly.

Again the enemy per force gave way before the shells along the

road. Again the 42nd took instant advantage of it, and the enemy

rolled back. The men were now in such high spirits, according to the

account of one who was present, that the terrors of the bush were no

more. Sir Archibald Alison saw that the moment had come. He ordered

the pipers to play. Down together, with a ringing cheer, went the

splendid regiment under his orders, straight at the concealed foe.

Away rolled every Ashantee in front of them; away down one hill

and up another, on which stood the village of Amoaful itself. By

half-past eleven the village was in the hands of the British force.

It was not, however, till after two that the fighting was over,

as the flank parties, the left as we have said, commanded by the

Colonel of the 42nd, had much more trouble and numerous casualties

in fighting and clearing their way through the bush. By the time

mentioned, however, the last Ashantee had shown his heels in full

retreat. Of the 42nd Bt.-Major Baird was severely wounded, from

which he died at Sierra Leone on the 6th of March, Major Macpherson,

Captains Creagh and Whitehead, Lts. Berwick, Stevenson, Cumberland,

and Mowbray, and 104 men wounded.

[Illustration: Sir John M’Leod, K.C.B.

On Feb. 1st, the day after this signal victory, the adjacent village

of Becqueh was captured and destroyed by Col. M’Leod, with the

naval brigade and several detachments, supported by portions of

the 42nd and 23rd. On the 2nd, the army was at Agemanu, six miles

beyond Amoaful, every inch of the ground between the two places

being disputed by the enemy. On this day Lt. Wauchope of the 42nd

was slightly wounded. On the 3rd, Sir Garnet moved by the westerly

road, branching off to the left from Agemanu, through Adwabin and

Detchiasa to the river Dah or Ordah, the enemy again opposing the

advance and hanging round the flanks of the force. King Coffee

Calcallee had tried to stop the advance of the British by offering to

pay an indemnity, but in vain, as no reliance whatever could be put

in any of his promises; the King therefore resolved to dispute the

passage of the river. The battle of Ordah-su, as it is called, was

fought on Feb. 4th, and lasted seven hours. When the troops reached

the Dah on the evening of the 3rd, it was a tremendous downpour of

rain, and it was not till next morning that the engineers managed to

complete their bridge over the river. By this bridge, on the morning

of the 4th, the advanced guard, the rifle brigade and some native

troops under Colonel M’Leod, crossed the bridge, and soon found

itself fiercely engaged with very large numbers of the enemy, who had

crowded into the villages on each side of the road, from which it was

found exceedingly difficult to dislodge them. The first shots were

fired about 7 A.M., and Sir Garnet Wolseley in his official despatch,

dated Coomassie, Feb. 5th, thus describes the rest:--

“The advanced guard, under the command of Col. M’Leod, 42nd

Highlanders, was brought to a stand still shortly after the advance

began; and a general action soon developed itself, lasting for

more than six hours. The enemy did not, however, fight with the

same courage as at Amoaful, for although their resistance was most

determined, their fire was wild, and they did not generally attack us

at such close quarters as in the former action.

“The village of Ordahsu having been carried by the rifle brigade at

nine o’clock, I massed all my force there, having previously passed

all the reserve ammunition, field hospitals, and supplies through

the troops, who held the road between the river and the village, a

distance of about a mile. The enemy then attacked the village with

large numbers from all sides, and for some hours we could make no

progress, but steadily held our ground. The 42nd Highlanders being

then sent to the front, advanced with pipes playing, and carried the

enemy’s position to the north of the village in the most gallant

style; Captain Rait’s artillery doing most effective service in

covering the attack, which was led by Col. M’Leod.

“After some further fighting on the front line, a panic seems to have

seized the enemy, who fled along the road to Coomassie in complete

rout. Although the columns they had detailed to assault our flanks

and rear continued for some time afterwards to make partial attacks

upon the village, we followed close upon the enemy’s heels into

Coomassie. The town was still occupied by large numbers of armed men,

who did not attempt to resist. The King had fled no one knew whither.

Our troops had undergone a most fatiguing day’s work, no water fit

for drinking having been obtained during the action or the subsequent

advance, and the previous night’s rest having been broken by a

tornado, which drenched our bivouac. It was nearly six o’clock when

the troops formed up in the main street of Coomassie, and gave three

cheers for the Queen.”

The 42nd was the first to enter the capital, the pipers playing at

its head, about half-past four in the afternoon; by half-past seven

the whole force was inside Coomassie, and the discomfiture of the

Ashantees was complete, the king himself having fled.

Mr H. M. Stanley, the well-known correspondent of the _New York

Herald_, in describing the advance on Coomassie, wrote as follows of

the bravery of the Black Watch:--

“The conduct of the 42nd Highlanders on many fields has been

considerably belauded, but mere laudation is not enough for the

gallantry which has distinguished this regiment when in action. Its

bearing has been beyond praise as a model regiment, exceedingly

disciplined, and individually nothing could surpass the standing and

gallantry which distinguished each member of the 42nd or the Black

Watch. They proceeded along the well ambushed road as if on parade,

by twos. ‘The Forty-second will fire by companies, front rank to the

right, rear rank to the left,’ shouted Col. Macleod. ‘A company,

front rank fire! rear rank fire!’ and so on, and thus vomiting out

twoscore of bullets to the right and twoscore to the left, the

companies volleyed and thundered as they marched past the ambuscades,

the bagpipes playing, the cheers rising from the throats of the lusty

Scots until the forest rang again with discordant medley of musketry,

bagpipe music, and vocal sounds. It was the audacious spirit and

true military bearing on the part of the Highlanders, as they moved

down the road toward Coomassie, which challenged admiration this

day. Very many were borne back frightfully disfigured and seriously

wounded, but the regiment never halted nor wavered; on it went, until

the Ashantees, perceiving it useless to fight against men who would

advance heedless of ambuscades, rose from their coverts, and fled

panic-stricken towards Coomassie, being perforated by balls whenever

they showed themselves to the hawk-eyed Scots. Indeed, I only wish

I had enough time given me to frame in fit words the unqualified

admiration which the conduct of the 42nd kindled in all who saw or

heard of it. One man exhibited himself eminently brave among brave

men. His name was Thomas Adams. It is said that he led the way to

Coomassie, and kept himself about ten yards ahead of his regiment,

the target for many hundred guns; but that, despite the annoying

noise of iron and leaden slugs, the man bounded on the road like a

well-trained hound on a hot scent. This example, together with the

cool, calm commands of Col. Macleod, had a marvellous effect upon the

Highland battalion.”

In the action on the 4th, Capt. Moore and Lts. Grogan and Wauchope

of the 42nd were wounded, the latter severely this time; 14 men were

also wounded.

Thus, in the space of about a month, by the decision and energy of

the leader of the expedition, and the willingness of his officers and

troops, was the great object of the campaign accomplished in the most

masterly manner, and the Ashantees humbled as they had never been

before, and taught a lesson they are not likely soon to forget. As

during the 5th there seemed no hope of the treacherous king coming

to terms, and as it was absolutely necessary for the safety of the

troops that the return march should be immediately commenced, Sir

Garnet resolved to destroy Coomassie, and set out at once. Having,

therefore sent off all the wounded, he issued orders for an advance

on the morning of the 6th. Early on that morning the homeward

movements commenced, headed by the naval brigade, and covered by a

rear guard of the 42nd, which did not retire till the town had been

set on fire in every quarter, and the mines which had been placed

under the palace fired. A tornado had raged during the previous

night, but the destruction of the town by fire was complete.

Thus the campaign was virtually at an end, and Gen. Wolseley made

all possible haste to bring his little army back to Cape Coast

Castle, which, notwithstanding the swollen state of the rivers, he

accomplished by February 19th. While on his way back Gen. Wolseley

received the unqualified submission of the humbled king. No time

was lost in getting the troops out of the influence of the deadly

climate. Without delay, therefore, the embarkation took place. The

42nd embarked in the “Nebraska” on the 23rd, and sailed on the 27th

in the “Sarmatian,” the steamer which brought them from England.

It arrived at Portsmouth on March 23rd, where it was received with

tremendous enthusiasm. All had suffered more or less from the effects

of the climate, but what with good constitutions and care, the

42nd in course of time regained its “wonted health and strength.”

Previous to its embarkation for Ashantee the 42nd, like the other

regiments, was provided with suits of dark grey (retaining in the

head dress their red feather), as being much more appropriate for the

work to be done than the usual regimental costume. The men’s kits

were, however, on board the “Sarmatian,” and the national garb was

therefore donned before landing, so that the regiment came ashore in

all the glory of its national garb.

Among the officers specially mentioned by Sir Garnet Wolseley for

having performed prominent services during the campaign were Col.

Macleod, C.B., who was afterwards made a K.C.B.; Majors Macpherson

and Scott; Capts. Farquharson, V.C., Furze, and Kidston; and Lt.

Wauchope. The special thanks of Parliament were awarded to the

troops, and honours were showered upon the Commander by the Queen and

country. Major Macpherson and Scott were made Lieutenant-Colonels

and C.B.’s., and had the brevet of lieutenant-colonel conferred

on them. Captains Bayly, Farquharson, V.C., and Furze, were made

Bt.-Majors. The Victoria Cross was conferred on Sergt. Samuel M’Gaw.

The non-commissioned officers and men selected to have medals “for

distinguished conduct in the field” at the hand of the Sovereign--and

had them presented by Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle on the

16th of May 1874, in presence of Colonel Sir John M’Leod, K.C.B.,

commanding the regiment, were--Wm. Street, sergt.-instructor of

musketry; sergt. Henry Barton; privates John White, George Ritchie,

George Cameron, and William Bell; piper James Wetherspoon; privates

Henry Jones, Wm. Nichol, and Thomas Adams. Also, Sergeant-Major

Barclay was awarded the medal for “meritorious services” for

distinguished conduct during the campaign.

In conclusion, we think the following is worth recording; it is

told in a letter from a soldier of the 42nd, which appeared in the

_Inverness Advertiser_:--

“We were the objects of great curiosity on the part of the Fantees

(natives of this bit of the country), who hung round the camp all day

in crowds, and numbers of whom had followed us from a large village

through which we passed just as the sun was rising, our pipes making

the whole street ring with the tune of ‘Hey, Johnnie Cope,’ which

they struck up just as we entered the village; the whole place was

in an uproar at once, the people rushing out of their huts in the

utmost consternation, evidently thinking the Ashantees were on them.

The pipes were something new; bugles they had heard something of,

but bagpipes were unknown instruments of warfare to them. As soon as

they realised that it was not their dreaded foes who were present,

they began to approach cautiously, but catching sight of the pipers,

who still adhere to the garb of old Gaul in defiance of War-Office

regulations, a fresh stampede took place, to the intense amusement

of our men; nor did the boldest of them venture to come near until

the rear of the detachment was clear of the village. By the time,

however, that we reached our halting-place, we were surrounded by

a considerable crowd, the pipers still forming the attraction, the

natives evidently looking on these as officers or dignitaries of

the very highest importance, and the pipes themselves as some kind

of mysterious instrument by which the enemy is to be vanquished. So

far, indeed, did their respect for these personages carry them, that

a war-dance in their honour was got up, and carried on with great

vigour, to the evident disgust of big Duncan, our pipe-major, who

wanted to know what he was made a peep show of for, and if they had

never seen a kiltie before.”

The regiment remained at Portsmouth until Nov. 15th, when it embarked

for Malta under command of Sir John Macleod, K.C.B. Its strength

on embarkation was 26 officers, 43 sergeants, 21 drummers and

pipers, and 630 rank and file. It arrived at Malta, after calling at

Queenstown, on the 27th, and, after being a few days under canvas,

went into Isola barracks, &c., the same that was occupied by the

regiment in 1832, and again in 1844.

FENCIBLE CORPS.

The plan of raising Fencible corps in the Highlands was first

proposed and carried into effect by Mr Pitt (afterwards Earl of

Chatham), in the year 1759. During the three preceding years both

the fleets and armies of Great Britain had suffered reverses, and

to retrieve the national character great efforts were necessary. In

England county militia regiments were raised for internal defence

in the absence of the regular army; but it was not deemed prudent

to extend the system to Scotland, the inhabitants of which, it was

supposed, could not yet be safely entrusted with arms. Groundless

as the reasons for this caution undoubtedly were in regard to the

Lowlands, it would certainly have been hazardous at a time when the

Stuarts and their adherents were still plotting a restoration to have

armed the clans. An exception, however, was made in favour of the

people of Argyll and Sutherland, and accordingly letters of service

were issued to the Duke of Argyll, then the most influential and

powerful nobleman in Scotland, and the Earl of Sutherland to raise,

each of them, a Fencible regiment within his district. Unlike the

militia regiments which were raised by ballot, the Fencibles were to

be raised by the ordinary mode of recruiting, and like the regiments

of the line, the officers were to be appointed and their commissions

signed by the king. The same system was followed at different periods

down to the year 1799, the last of the Fencible regiments having been

raised in that year.

The following is a list of the Highland Fencible regiments according

to the chronological order of the commissions, with the date of their

embodiment and reduction:--
