Breadalbane Fencibles

[12885m]

I am seeking more information on the Breadalbane Fencibles formed in the 1790's.

[Jokdy]

The 1st and 2nd Battalions were raised in 1793 and were specifically for home service, the 3rd Battalion was raised in 1795 specifically for service in Ireland. 

1st and 2nd Bt were stood down at the end of 1798, 3rd Bt was stood down in 1802.


There is a small section about them if you follow this link, pg 371 of the bk, scroll down to the bottom of the page... 

Long link to google-books

There is a bit about them in the book "Mutiny" by John Prebble.

I have done a bit of research into Breadalbane's Fenciles, as my 4 x gt grandfather William Paton was a member. Records are held at both the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh, as part of the Breadalbane's Muniments, and at the National Archives in Kew. For William Paton's story, which includes some information on some of the unit's regulations and history, visit my site at http://chrispatonscotland.tripod.com/id85.html
