The image of the Highland soldier as a brave, loyal warrior was central to nineteenth-century notions of Scottish national identity. This article uses material culture evidence alongside traditional archival sources to provide an interdisciplinary explanation of how the military dimension of Scottish identity was shaped in the early nineteenth century. It finds that it was the responses of the Highland Society of London to Scottish battlefield valour – rather than the actions themselves – that created the enduring popular perception of the Highland soldier as a desirable national symbol and as an icon of empire.

伦敦高地协会,物质文化和苏格兰军事认同的发展,1798-1817

高地士兵作为勇敢、忠诚的战士的形象是 19 世纪苏格兰民族认同概念的核心。本文使用物质文化证据和传统档案资料,对 19 世纪初苏格兰身份的军事维度如何形成提供跨学科解释。它发现,正是伦敦高地协会对苏格兰战场英勇的反应——而不是行动本身——创造了一种持久的普遍看法,将高地士​​兵视为理想的国家象征和帝国的象征。
