Tono,

A number of Scottish regiments served in the Penninsula Campagain against Napoleon and his brother, Joseph, or "Pepe Botellas" as the Spanish called him. The Gordons come to mind almost instantly because of their association with the British General Sir John Moore who was killed at The Battle of Corunna:

The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders also served in Spain:

Besides the Gordons, the Black Watch, the old Highland Light Infantry (now Royal Highland Fusiliers), the Camerons and the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) all served as Corunna.

Salud!
