Tour Scotland Photograph Quartermaster Sergeant Gravestone Newburgh Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of a Quartermaster Sergeant Gravestone in the cemetery in Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. In memory of John Robertson, formerly Quartermaster Sergeant, 26th Regiment of Foot, who died at Mount Pleasant, 28th October, 1894, aged 89. The 26th Cameronian Regiment of Foot was an Scottish infantry regiment of the British Army, active from 1688 to 1881. Although the regiment took the name of its first colonel as The Earl of Angus's Regiment, it became popularly known as The Cameronians until 1751, when it was ranked as the 26th Foot. In 1881, it merged with the 90th Regiment of Foot Perthshire Volunteers to form the Cameronians Scottish Rifles. The Cameronians were themselves disbanded in 1968, meaning that no Army unit today perpetuates the lineage of the 26th Foot.
