malcolm1 Posted 1 December , 2006 Share Posted 1 December , 2006 I have come accross this photo and I was wondering if any one could tell me which regiment it is. My own guess is that it is a AS & H Vol Batt'n. Many thanks Malc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted 1 December , 2006 Share Posted 1 December , 2006 Hi Malc, I think we are looking at a Volunteer Battalion, and Victorian by the bayonet. Not sure about the glengarry dicing and the black cock feather but it certainly looks like a government tartan to me. Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolm1 Posted 1 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 1 December , 2006 Thanks Lads I have since found out that the gentlemans name is William Shearer Stephen born in Wick 1827 Would Wick come under the recruiting area for the A S & H? and how many regiments wore govenment tartan.
