Scots Mercenaries in Swedish service

As today is the anniversary of the battle of Wittstock (Gregorian calendar) I thought we should have a look at Scots troops in the 30 YW. Here is an interesting page on Scottish costume.

    Isn't the second one from Military Illustraed- the 3rd being the Osprey- I have both in my personal collection

    The Agoe Of Conquerors book seems to be composed of ex Military Illustrated plates - all those on the link were froom that magazine.
