JR-010 -- Highlander Standard Bearer # 2 - Cameron of Locheil’s Regiment

Cameron of Locheil’s Regiment was one of the first to be raised, and was always one of the strongest Jacobite units. It was generally regarded as an elite unit, even though it was originally very badly armed.

It was reported to be at least 700 strong at the Battle of Culloden, and two colours are known to have been present at the battle. One of which was the simple red and yellow barred colours. It was supposed to have been captured from the Camerons at Culloden, but was not included in the official list of trophies.

The present whereabouts of the colours are unknown but in the late nineteenth century they were still preserved in a glass frame, but were wrongly identified as belonging to the Princes’ Lifeguards.
