 The
regimental
Colour of le Régiment d'Ogilvie
Le Régiment d'Ogilvie was raised by David, Lord Ogilvy
in 1747, disbanded 1763. Not to be confused with the regiment
he raised in Scotland and commanded during the '45.
Officers included John Cameron, Presbyterian
minister with the Jacobite army.
Perhaps the best known member
of the regiment was Alan Breck Stewart, generally held to
have been the murderer of Colin Campbell of Glenure. Stevensons
fictional character is more closely based upon John Roy
Stewart, himself at one time an officer in the Royal Ecossais.
