Welcome to the War Studies section of the Scottish Fighting Traditions forum. This section is the place to post information or discussions relating directly to Wars in which Scottish troops were involved.
The difference between this and the "Battlefields and Their Archaeology" is that this is for posts relating to multiple battles or skirmishes. For example posts about the Scottish Wars of Independence would be placed here but a post about Bannockburn in particular would be posted in the "Battlefields and Their Archaeology" section. Likewise a post about the effect of the musket on the Highland Charge would be posted here but a post regarding a brown bess in your collection that was used at Culloden would be posted in the "Battlefields and Their Archaeology" section.

Please do not post whole essays in this part of the forum, the correct procedure for posting academic work is to summarise the piece and then provide a link for users to download the file (.pdf or .doc format only please). If you have no where to host the file feel free to contact me via PM and I will host it on your behalf.
