The Society is based in in Scotland, and run by Scots . Our illustrated journal , from modest beginnings is now a creditable publication of which we are proud, and which earns frequent praise for its contents and quality of production. Amongst society journals it is unique in being almost exclusively concerned with the study of Scottish military subjects, mainly from the 1660's to the present day . Articles printed in the journal are the result of member's research.
