These soldiers uniforms date from the 1880s, I would suggest. Comment left on 08 October 2004 at 23:18 by Calum Davidson

I am pretty sure this is "Cromarty's Artillery Volunteers Corp" Part of the Highland Volunteer Artillery Regiment which was raised in the 1860's. The spike on the helmet was not used by many regiments during this era. Comment left on 17 January 2015 at 10:24 by Jason Ubych
