"The London Scottish: Defenders of the Capital and Keepers of Tradition" Step back in time and witness the gallant defence of London by the brave soldiers known as the London Scottish. With a rich history intertwined with valiant acts, this group played an integral role in safeguarding the city. From their origins as part of the Scots Guards to their iconic signalling on Parliament Hill, these warriors stood tall against any threat that loomed over London's horizon. The Metropolitan Rifle Corps showcased their prowess in Hyde Park, displaying discipline and precision through vibrant chromolithographs. During Easter manoeuvres, volunteer commanders strategized alongside other regiments like those at Portsmouth or Aldershot Contingent. Their dedication was unwavering, evident even during Brighton Reviews where they took meticulous notes to improve their skills further. The Wimbledon Rifle Meeting witnessed a memorable moment when the London Scottish raised a toast to honor the winner of Queen's Prize. This engraving captures camaraderie amidst fierce competition, showcasing both sportsmanship and unity within this esteemed regiment. In 1871, Wimbledon became another stage for them to showcase their marksmanship skills. These engravings immortalize moments frozen in time as they aimed true towards victory. Venturing beyond English shores near Dover for Easter Volunteer Manoeuvres proved no fruitless errand for these courageous individuals who faced challenges head-on with determination etched on their faces. They embraced comradeship wholeheartedly while welcoming CIV troops on Hallowe'en night - an unforgettable lithograph capturing warmth amidst adversity. As years passed by, these volunteers continued serving diligently; 1887 saw them depicted once again in engravings that celebrated their commitment and sacrifice. And during Easter Monday Volunteer Manoeuvres defending Eastbourne, they demonstrated unwavering loyalty towards protecting not only London but also its surrounding areas from potential threats. The legacy of the London Scottish lives on through historical records captured in lithographs, chromolithographs, and engravings.
