APPENDICES.A.COLOURS.THE following brief account is all that can be found relatingto the history of the colours which the regiment haspossessed :The first colours, of which there is no record as to whenthey were presented, were carried throughout the PeninsularWar, and about the year 1826 came into the possession ofLieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald (afterwards Sir JohnMacdonald, K.C.B.), who was then in command of theregiment.In 1883 Major- General Alastair Macdonald, the son of theabove, presented these colours to St. Giles, Edinburgh, onthe occasion when all the Highland regiments collectedtheir old colours to be placed in the cathedral. The escortto the colours at the function was composed of CaptainMacDonald and Lieutenant Goff, Colour-Sergeants Keeneand Nowell. Of the royal colour only a fragment remains,while the regimental colour is almost complete, and bears onit "Pyrenees," "Nivelle," "Nive," "Orthes," "Toulouse,"and " Peninsula," on a circular scroll, the names being nearlyillegible. The colours are painted.The colours presented about 1826 were carried until theyear 1845, when they came into the possession of Lieutenant-Colonel Lindsay, who was then in command of the regiment.
300 APPENDICES.After his death they were sent to Colonel Bertie Gordon in1848, who had them placed in Ellon Castle, Aberdeenshire.The next colours those presented in 1845, of which anaccount is given of the ceremony of presentation inChapter IX. were carried until the year 1869, when theyfound a resting-place at Inverary Castle, only to be destroyedby fire (as related in Chapter XV.) eight years later. Inthis chapter is also given an account of the new coloursbeing presented, which are the present colours carried by theregiment.Of the colours carried by the second battalion raised in1804 there appears to be no record except of their existence,as it is related in Chapter I. that Sergeant-Major Cahilreceived a commission " for saving one of the colours."There is no record of the reserve battalion having anycolours.
