THE ARGYLL and Sutherland Highlanders Museum at Stirling Castle has launched its public appeal to secure its future, seeking to raise £200,000, under the patronage of HRH Prince William, The Earl of Strathearn.
In a message released this weekend, His Royal Highness asks the public to donate to the re-development fund to help preserve the memory of one of Scotland’s great Highland regiments which traditionally recruited from Oban and Lorn.
The appeal is named the ‘Thin Red Line Appeal’ and refers to the regiment’s most celebrated feat of valour when it defied a Russian cavalry charge at the Battle of Balaklava in 1854.
