Locating Victorian serving soldiers - NRA Shooting team members 1864

[nyflint]

I have a list of the 20 names of the Scottish team from which I'm trying to isolate any from the Aberdeen area. The team comprised the top marksmen drawn from the Scottish regiments.
I can initially do this by using FreeCen but I'm wondering if that in itself offers enough information.

Were serving soldiers recorded in the same way as the civilian population or was there a separate Army list which would, I believe, be based on the current location of the regiment?
 
The Gordon Highlanders recruited mainly in the Aberdeen area. Should I be looking for some sort of regimental record?

Probably best to look for them individually on Ancestry or FindMyPast.  If you have each name and regiment there is a good chance they can be found.  There would be no central list including men from different regiments.  Try posting a name/names.

Newspapers often reported success in shooting competitions both locally and nationally.
