I am amazed at all of your knowledge. I didn't know that there was a "TA" militia in Scotland in the 19th century. It had never occurred to me.

There were Militia and Volunteer regiments in Scotland from the late 18th century. In 1908 the remaining ones disappeared under the Haldane Reforms which, amongst other things, set up the Territorial Army (the TA).

I would imagine that they were privately raised units brought into being by local lairds and other assorted rich people.

Miraculously, the last privately raised regiment in this country is still a part of our regular army 106 years later. They're not kilted, tho.
