The Scots Army (Scots: Scots Airmy) was the army of the Kingdom of Scotland between the Restoration in 1660 and the Acts of Union of 1707. A small standing army was established at the Restoration, which was mainly engaged in opposing Covenanter rebellions and guerrilla warfare pursued by the Cameronians in the East. There were also attempts to found a larger militia. By the Glorious Revolution in 1688–89 the standing army was over 3,500 men. Several new regiments were raised to defend the new regime and, although some were soon disbanded several took part in William II's continental wars. By the time of the Act of Union in 1707, the army had seven units of infantry, two of horse and one troop of Horse Guards. Early units wore grey, but adopted red like the English army after 1684.

New Scottish and particularly Highland regiments would be raised from the 1740s, some of which had a long history within the army. (en)
  • Il Royal Scots Army (scots: Ryal Scots Airmy), fu l'esercito del Regno di Scozia tra la Restaurazione nel 1660 e gli Acts of Union del 1707. Il piccolo esercito venne istituito nel corso della Restaurazione, principalmente impegnato a contrastare, sia le ribellioni Covenanter, che la guerriglia dei Cameroniani. Vi furono anche tentativi di fondare una milizia più grande. Al momento della Gloriosa Rivoluzione, tra il 1688 ed il 1689, l'esercito permanente contava su oltre 3.500 uomini. Diversi nuovi reggimenti vennero creati per difendere il nuovo regime e, anche se alcuni vennero presto sciolti, altri parteciparono alle guerre continentali di Guglielmo II. Al momento degli Acts of Union del 1707, l'esercito possedeva sette unità di fanteria, due di cavalleria e una truppa di Guardie a Cavallo. Le prime unità indossavano uniformi di colore grigio, ma successivamente adottarono il colore rosso, come l'esercito inglese dopo il 1684. Nel 1707 i reggimenti esistenti vennero incorporati nella British Army, mentre nuovi reggimenti scozzesi, ed in particolare i reggimenti delle Highland, dal 1740 si sarebbero sollevati. (it)
