Marvelous miniatures!

Marvelous miniatures!

We were very fortunate recently to be gifted a fantastic collection of model soldiers relating to The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). The lead miniatures cover many periods and campaigns from the Regiment’s history, including groups from the 26th and 90th regiments in the 1700s, to a group of Cameronian soldiers on patrol in Aden in the 1960s.
