ARGYLL AND SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS

It was in 1794 that the Duke of Argyll deputed his kinsman Campbell of Lochnell to raise a Regiment of Argyllshire Highlanders. In 1881 the Cardwell Reforms twinned the 91st with the 93rd, raised by Major General William Wemyss in 1800. The 93rd came into prominence in the Crimean War where the Regiment won no less than six VCs. These two units were brought together to form the Argyll Sutherland Highlanders.
