Cameronians exhibition being staged at Low Parks Museum in Hamilton

THE Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) fought many battles down the years but the personal stories of individual soldiers and accounts of life off the battlefield feature in a new exhibition.

The newly refurbished Low Parks Museum in Hamilton began hosting the exhibition on April 5.

Over the past 18 months the council’s museums staff, Museums Galleries Scotland and The Cameronians have worked together to gain funding of £50,000 from The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) Regimental Trustees and £30,000 from Museums Galleries Scotland.
