The Argyll Militia

Rather than just having red coated Line infantry to represent the Government forces I decided to have some of the of the Argyll Militia that were raised by Archibald Campbell 3rd Duke of Argyll . These were not uniformed but wore a black cockade and a red cross on their bonnets . 

The figures are by Red Box  from their Militia and Loyalist troops  ,  my hand was not steady enough to paint crosses, so I just gave them red cockades instead . They took part in some of the smaller actions and raids but tended to be kept out of the way in the main battles to prevent confusion with the enemy Highlanders . I'm putting the finishing touches to the first of my Government Line Regiments .
