An excellent choice, Jock. I would also add Major Colin Campbell Mitchell of the Argylls to a list of great Scottish soldiers.

To the list should be added Sir George Murray, a local Crieff man, who was Wellington's Quarter Master General in the Peninsula. The QMG had nothing to do with supplies, stores etc as is now the case but was in charge of Intelligence which was crucial to the campaign's success.
