Excerpt from A History of the Scottish Highlands, Highland Clans and Highland Regiments, Vol. 2: With an Account of the Gaelic Language, Literature and Music by Thomas Maclauchlan, and an Essay on Highland Scenery by John Wilson After staying two weeks in Chelmsford Barracks, the regiment proceeded northwards to Scotland by easy stages, and was every where received with overwhelming enthusiasm and lavish hospitality. At Cambridge, for example, Sergeant Anton, in his Military Life, tells us, the bells welcomed the Royal Highlanders with joy; every table smoked with savoury viands for their entertainment, and every cellar. Contributed a liberal supply of its best October for their refreshment. The same thing occurred at Huntingdon and other towns, and at several places the men received a donation equal to two day's pay. And so it was at every town through which the regi ment had to pass; the men were feted and petted as if they had saved their country from destruction.
