The Lovat Scouts
Raised in 1899 by Simon, Lord Lovat, mainly from Highland ghillies & stalkers. The plan was to use hillcraft to counter the same strengths of South African Boers. South Loch Ness was a major recruiting area for the unit in that conflict & 2 World Wars.

Where was your father from, from the Hebrides, the Islands or did he join as part of one of the English regiments. I have the picture of the Lovat Scouts in Balmoral in 1943 with the present Queen Elizabeth as a young girl.

Hi , my grand uncle was a Lovat Scout, he was unfortunately shot by a Boer sniper in 1900, he’s burried in Phillipolis S Africa , death date was 23rd Nov 1900. I’ve got a poem written by his Sergeant, and a painting of his grave by Captain Ellice Lovat Scouts. Any information on my grand uncle Kenneth Lockhart would be appreciated. He was a Skye man born and raised, but I understand he was working on a farm in Clarkson Lothians before joining up…. Thanks Alex (Dealt with)
