Excerpt from Legends of the Black Watch, or Forty-Second Highlanders

Woven up with an occasional legend or superstition gleaned among the mountains from whence its soldiers came, the warlike details and many of the names which occur in the following pages, belong to the military history of the country and of the brave Regiment whose title is given to our Book.

It is generally acknowledged that but for the reten tion of the kilt in the British service, and for the high character of those regiments who wear it, the military eta/me of Scotland had been long since for gotten in Europe, and her national existence had been as completely ignored during the Wars of Wellington as in those of Marlborough; nor in times more recent had the electric wire announced that, when the cloud of Russian horse came on at Balaclava and our allies fled, the Scots stood firm.
