In the drill yards and fishing towns of north-east Scotland, ordinary men once shouldered extraordinary burdens. Their marches, musters and alarms shaped both village life and the wider fortunes of Britain. These pages still feel alive. First published by John Malcolm Bulloch, a meticulous historian of the region, Territorial Soldiering in the North-east of Scotland During 1759-1814 charts the rise of local corps, Scottish Highlanders regiments and British militia regiments from the mid-eighteenth century through the Napoleonic Wars Britain fought. Blending narrative and documentation, it follows British army volunteers, Fencibles and napoleonic era militias as they defend coastlines, towns and estates, illuminating a rich seam of Scottish local history and the wider story of territorial soldiering Scotland gave to the Empire. For students of military history and readers seeking a classic military history book on eighteenth century Scotland and regimental history study, it is both vivid reading and an exacting research reference book. Equally, this is an invaluable reference for genealogists tracing ancestors in northern counties, preserving names, dates and local affiliations that might otherwise be lost. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it speaks to casual readers drawn to real lives in wartime as powerfully as to historians and classic-book collectors seeking an authoritative, enduring account.
