The design on the back of this John Stuart CDV dates this photo to about 1873 to 1877. Likely during their return to Glasgow which was just prior to the formation of the Scottish Rifles."The regiment returned home in 1875, stationed at the Clarence Barracks at Portsmouth, where it received the new breech-loading Martini-Henry rifle. After adapting to the new style of firearm, the Cameronians regained their Indian standards of target shooting, and were ranked third in the Army in 1876. In August 1876 the 26th was shipped to Glasgow, where it moved into the Gallowgate Barracks."Measures 4 by 2 1/2 inches.T 3
