I don't want to post direct links to the photos, since they are not mine, but HERE are some rather nice candid pictures taken of the London Scottish before the Great War, along with a bit of regimental information I'd not heard before.

Cheers

Wonderful photos of these brave men wearing the hodden grey. It's eerie to wonder if these chaps ever made it back home, when so many did not.

Cheers,

Interesting paratrooper photo but I had a problem posting. User error I expect

A book cover:

"Charles Ross and his First Nations wife Isabella raised their
family in Victoria. As a Hudson’s Bay Company trader, he helped
build Fort Victoria in 1843. He became deeply depressed being
so far from Scotland and died in 1844. Isabella became the first woman to
own property in the Vancouver Island colony and lived another 41 years.
It’s one of countless stories gathered by Jan Peterson for Kilts on the
Coast: The Scots Who Built BC"
