| After The Act Of Union In 1707, The Scottish Army And Navy Merged With Those Of England. The New British Army Incorporated Existing Scottish Regiments, Such As The Scots Guards, The Royal Scots 1st Of Foot, King's Own Scottish Borderers 25th Of Foot, The Cameronians 26th Of Foot, Scots Greys And The Royal Scots Fusiliers 21st Of Foot. The Three Vessels Of The Small Royal Scottish Navy Were Transferred To The Royal Navy. The New Armed Forces Were Controlled By The War Office And Admiralty From London. During This Period, Scottish Soldiers And Sailors Were Instrumental In Supporting The Expansion Of The British Empire And Became Involved In Many International Conflicts, Including The Latter Stages Of The War Of The Spanish Succession, The Seven Years' War, The American Wars Of Independence, Napoleonic Wars, The Crimean War, Boer War, The Two World Wars, The Korean War, The Malayan Emergency, The Falklands War And Most Recently The Two Gulf Wars The Highland Regiments Were Used In The Napoleonic Wars, But Almost All Of Their Appearances Were When They Were Under Wellington’s Command. The First Theater That The Highland Regiments Served In Was The Peninsular War. At The Battle Of Vimiero, The 71st Highland Light Infantry Regiment Was Used To Guard The Artillery Peaces With The 82nd Lancashire Regiment. The French Made A Surprising Attack And Both Regiments Were Forced Back. However, Their Leader, Major General Ferguson, Charged These Two Regiments Back At The Guns, And The French Brigade Retreated. Major General Ferguson Pursued The French Brigade Until He Was Ordered To Stop By Wellington. Had He Pursued, The French Army May Have Surrendered. At The Battle Of La Coruna, The Black Watch And The 50th Foot Were Sent In To Take The Village Named Elvina. The First Attack Was A Success, But They Used Up Almost All Of Their Ammunition. Short Of Ammunition, The Two Regiments Retreated From The Village, But A Bayonet Charge Again Took The Village For The British. Even When Their Commander Was Fatally Injured, The Two Regiments Held The Village, And The French Attack Gave Way. The Next Day The British Evacuated The Area. The Next Battle That The Highland Regiments Played A Large Part In Was The Battle Of Fuentes De Onoro. The 74th And 79th Highland Regiments, With The Support 88th Connaght Rangers, Engaged A French Cuirassier Regiment And Though They Were Pushed Back, The 88th Regiment Came In Support And Drove The French Cavalry, Whom Were Low On Ammunition, Away. The Highlanders Also Participated In The Battle Of Waterloo. Many Highland Regiments Served In Squares Against The Famous French Cavalry Charge, Including The 42nd, 71st, 73rd, And 92nd. A Legend Says That When The Royal Scots Greys Had To Ride Through The 92nd Gordon Highlanders, That The 92nd Actually Held On To Their Stirrups And Assisted Them In The Charge. There Is No Real Proof Confirming This. Unlike In Most Other Wars, The Highland Regiments That Fought At Waterloo Were Not Disbanded Afterwards. Updated Roster: Col-Connor
