The ancient Scots Brigade color, carried by troops in Holland from 1070 to 1704, has been forwarded to Edinburgh by Lord Reay. Preserved since leaving Hagia, it will be placed in St Crilea’s Cathedral. The brigade joined England in 1688, fought at Killiecrankie, served in the Peninsular War, and was disbanded in 1818. A later 94th, raised in Scotland in 1823, is now the Second Battalion of the Connaught Rangers.
