The wholesale assimilation of Scots into the British Army is
largely associated with the recruitment of Highlanders during and
after the Seven Years War. This important new study demonstrates
that the assimilation of Lowland and Highland Scots into the
British Army was a salient feature of its history in the first half
of the 18th century and was already well advanced by the outbreak
of the Seven Years War. Scotland and the British Army, 1700-1750
analyses the wider policing functions of the British Army, the role
of Scotland's militia and the development of Scotland's military
roads and institutions to provide a fuller understanding of the
purpose and complexity of Scotland's military organisation and
presence in Scotland in the turbulent decades between the Glorious
Revolution and the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie, which has been
too often simplified as an army of occupation for the suppression
of Jacobitism. Instead, Victoria Henshaw reveals the complexities
and difficulties experienced by Scottish soldiers of all ranks in
the British Army as nationality, loyalty and prejudice clouded
Scottish desires to use military service to defend the Glorious
Revolution and the Union of 1707.
