Hi, am searching for any information regarding the Earl of Glencairn's regiment in Scotland..all pointers and suggestions gratefully received. |

There were 2 regiments raised. One for service in Ireland and one for service in England. The wiki ECW project website has lots of info. link An excellent resource as a starter. |

Try to find a copy of Furgol's "A Regimental History of the Covenanting Armies 1639-1651" ISBN 0 85976 194 0 There's loads of information about Glencairn's foot (and horse) in their various incarnations in there. (Too much to paraphrase here I'm afraid sorry!) Ed is currently rewriting/updating the volume so maybe back in print soon? Try searching Glencairn's, and William Cunningham in the SSNE database, possibly some of the Irish regiment in 1641 Depositions database too. |

Thanks,troops, loads of interesting stuff cited.
I'm also looking for a standard for Glencairn, but maybe I'll have to conjecture a design.. |

You are going to have to resort to conjecture to a point. There are some conventions which seem to have been followed in the main part. Colonel's colour white with a design from the Colonel's coat of arms. For other colours – there does seem to be a regional thing going on with saltaire background. Then wording changes depending on year. |
