Scottish Volunteer Forces
« on: Friday 09 November 12 10:21 GMT (UK) »
I am wondering if someone could direct me to where I could find information about the Scottish Volunteer Forces - 2nd Midlothian Musselburgh and Peebleshire.  Am article in a newspaper has mentioned one of my husband's ancestors was with the Scottish Volunteer Forces.  I would like to find out more details about this and if possible obtain any records that may be available.
Regards Kaybron
