Queen Victoria’s Highlanders

Osprey Men at Arms #442

by Stuart Reid

This book not only offers a tribute to the proud Highlander regiments who have served with distinction for over two centuries, but also offers an in-depth study of the period in which they made their name. As the British Empire dominated every corner of the globe, Queen Victoria's Highlanders served in a variety of campaigns from the Indian subcontinent to Africa. This title will study their organization, histories, and the evolution of their uniforms. Each of the famous regiments - including the Black Watch, the Gordons, the Argylls, and the Camerons - will be covered and the full glory of their romantic, tartan uniforms revealed.

Considering I live a few miles away from the Gordon Highlanders Museum, I thought it was time to educate myself. ^_^

I liked it, but I won't reread it. Non-fiction isn't something I read a lot of unless I have a specific reason.
