UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet and White facings (in 1689); Scarlet
and Pale Yellow facings (in 1713); 2nd Batt., Scarlet and Buff
(in 1794). Now Dark Green and Rifle Green for both Batts.
REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The Sphinx" with "Egypt" (for
1801). Also "The Dragon" (for China, 1840-42). _See_ "Notes."
NICKNAMES, &C.--The old 26th (1st Batt.) was familiarly known as
"The Scots," _circa_ 1762; while the late 90th, when raised, was
dubbed "The Perthshire Grey-breeks" (from the colour of their
breeches).
NOTES.--The 1st Batt. of The Cameronians trace a direct descent
from the old "Cameronian Guard" of the "Lords of Convention,"
the name itself being derived from Richard Cameron, a famous
preacher. The Cameronians, as a rifle corps, carry no
colours--its honours are displayed on various appointments.
