Cameronians Scottish rifles regimental museum

The collection on display at Low Parks Museum tells the story of the Cameronians, raised in Douglas in 1689 by James, Earl of Angus. With the original recruits being Covenanters this was the only regiment in the British Army with a religious origin. As Scotland's only rifle regiment, it took the decision to disband in 1968 rather than lose its identity by amalgamating with other regiment.
