MPX5067526: Atten-Shun! His Grace the Duke of Atholl, has his very own private army, the Atholl Highlanders. The Duke, commander of the Highlanders, the only private army in Europe musters his forces before marching into action. Not, sad to say, against some robber baron or upstart knight. Instead the target was the capture of more tourists for the Duke's Perthshire castle, Scotland. And it was mission accomplished as hundreds of spectators crowded the lawns to watch the Highlanders being reviewed by their commandant. As the tourists went off to tour the castle as 3s 6d a time, the Highlanders collected their pay - a whisky. The march past of the Atholl Highlanders. The Duke of Atholl, takes the salute as his Army march past... all 13 them. / Bridgeman Images
