Seaforth’s recruiting poster at time of King George III (1738-1820). Recruitment poster announcement for the raising of the 78th Regiment in 1778 by Kenneth Mackenzie in gratitude to King George III for restoring the family title of ‘Earl of Seaforth’ to him, after it had been removed following the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. In 1793 the Regiment saw action in the Netherlands during the French Revolutionary War fighting at Nijmegen, which is indicated by the line "Now for a stroke at the Monsieurs, my Boys!" The 78th combined with the 72nd Regiment in 1881 as the Seaforth Highlanders. This poster was pinned to the wooden wall of the Andrew Paterson Studio in order to be copied. It reads: "SEAFORTH'S HIGHLANDERS. To be forthwith raised for the DEFENCE of His Glorious Majesty KING GEORGE the Third, and the Preservation of our Happy Constitution in Church and State. All LADS of TRUE HIGHLAND BLOOD willing to shew their Loyalty and Spirit may repair to SEAFORTH, or the Major, ALEXANDER MACKENZIE of Belmaduthy; or the other Commanding Officers at head Quarters at ________________________ where they will receive HIGH BOUNTIES and SOLDIER-LIKE ENTERTAINMENT. The LADS of this Regiment will LIVE and DIE together;- as they cannot be DRAUGHTED into other Regiments, and must be reduced in a BODY in their OWN COUNTRY. Now for a stroke at the Monsieurs, my Boys! KING George for ever! HUZZAH!"

Osgood Hanbury Mackenzie (1842-1922) was a Scottish landowner and the creator of a famous garden at Inverewe, near Poolewe in Wester Ross. In 1862, with the help of his mother he purchased the 12,000-acre estate of Inverewe and Kernsary. There he built a Scottish Baronial style mansion and set about creating a garden. Mackenzie concentrated first on establishing shelter belts of Native and Scandinavian pines and built a walled garden. He also created woodland walks. Within 40 years, he had established one of the finest collections in Scotland of temperate plants from both Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Mr Argyll Robertson, The Depot, Seaforth Highlanders, Fort George. Ian Argyll Robertson was born on 17th July 1913 at Richmond, Surrey, and educated at Winchester and Trinity College, Oxford, before being commissioned into the Seaforth Highlanders. Posted as adjutant of the regimental depot at Fort George in April 1939, he escaped the fate of many of his regimental contemporaries who were made prisoners of war at St Val?ry in the following year. During the Second World War he proved a capable leader and an excellent trainer of troops in the 51st (Highland) Division, serving in the North African and Sicily campaigns of 1942 and 1943 as a company commander in the 5th Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders, as a temporary commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion, and as brigade major of the 152 (Seaforth and Cameron) Brigade. After attending staff college at Haifa, he was posted as brigade major to 231 (Malta) Brigade of the 50th Division, one of the assault brigades in the Normandy invasion of June 1944. In the postwar years he filled a wide range of appointments: AAG at HQ 15 Corps in Malaya and Java; service with 1st Battalion Seaforth Highlanders at the start of the Malayan emergency; a student at the Joint Services Staff College course; commanding officer of the regimental depot at Fort George; and GSO1 of the 51st (Highland) Division TA at Perth. In 1954 he returned to the 1st Battalion as commanding officer. It was based in the Canal Zone of Egypt and, in June 1955, its main body was moved at short notice by air to Aden for what was expected to be an operational tour of a few weeks to assist the Aden Protectorate Levies in the troublesome Western Aden protectorate. In fact, the battalion remained in the region for five months. After commanding the support weapons wing at the School of Infantry, Netheravon, he took command of 127 (East Lancashire) Infantry Brigade (TA). A spell at the National Defence College, New Delhi, was followed in 1963 by a move to the School of Infantry, Warminster, as commandant. From 1964 to 1966 he commanded the 51st (Highland) Division (TA) before moving to the MoD as director of equipment policy. He retired from the Army in 1968 aged 55. As a younger man Robertson played cricket for the Army and golf for the Highland Brigade. He also had a keen interest in carpentry, painting and music. For many years he was the representative in Scotland for Messrs Spink & Son. During his retirement he was a Deputy Lieutenant and, from 1980 until 1988, Vice-Lord Lieutenant, Highland Region (Nairn). He was appointed MBE in 1947 and CB in 1968. Ian Robertson died on 10th January 2010. He married, in 1939, Marjorie Duncan, who survived him with their two daughters. See also ref: H-0305a-f.
