EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the members of H Company, 79th Highlanders, as they stand proudly in formation at Parkhurst Barracks in Scotland during the late 19th century. Established in 1794, the 79th Highlanders, also known as the "Dodd's Highlanders" or "Cameron's Highlanders," were a Scottish infantry regiment of the British Army. The regiment was renowned for its distinctive uniform, which included the traditional Scottish kilt, tartan bonnet, and belted plaid. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of this historic regiment, which saw action in various conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars and the Zulu War. The soldiers' stern expressions and disciplined posture reflect the rigorous training they underwent to prepare for battle. Parkhurst Barracks, located in Edinburgh, served as the regiment's home from 1876 until 1921. The barracks provided the soldiers with essential facilities, including living quarters, mess halls, and drill grounds. This photograph, taken in 1878, showcases the regiment's dedication to maintaining the rich cultural traditions of their Scottish heritage while serving in the British Army. As the 19th century drew to a close, the 79th Highlanders continued to uphold their proud legacy, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of military life. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the regiment's storied past and the enduring appeal of Scotland's rich military and cultural history.
