EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1862, Lady Belhaven, a prominent aristocrat from Belhaven and Stenton in Scotland, presents new colours to the 26th Regiment, also known as the Cameronians, at the Parade-Ground in Queen's Park, Edinburgh. The Cameronians, an infantry regiment with a rich history, were an integral part of the British Army and the civil defence forces of Scotland. The scene is filled with a sense of grandeur and tradition. Lady Belhaven, elegantly dressed in Victorian attire, stands proudly before the regiment, her expression serious and determined. She is surrounded by a group of officers, all in their military uniforms, who watch the ceremony with great interest. The Cameronian soldiers, arranged in neat rows, salute their lady as she presents the new colours, each man's face reflecting a mix of respect and pride. The background of the image is dominated by the rolling hills of Edinburgh, adding to the sense of history and tradition. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of horses and horsemen, adding a touch of cavalry to the infantry regiment. The atmosphere is festive, with a large crowd of onlookers gathered at the edge of the parade ground, eagerly watching the ceremony unfold. This striking image, taken from the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the ceremonial traditions of the British Army during the 19th century, and the important role that the aristocracy played in military life. The presentation of new colours was a significant event, marking the renewal of the regiment's commitment to duty and service to the crown.
