During the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815), units recruited from the Scotsmen served in the British army. Those recruited from the lowland southern part of Scotland were often called Lowlanders, while those recruited from the mountainous northern part were called Highlanders. Most Highlanders regiments carried several - the exception were regiments from 71 to 75. The oldest Scottish regiment formed in Great Britain was the 42nd Regiment, the so-called Black Watch. In 1808, there were about 25 Scottish regiments in the British army. As in the case of "English" units, the basic unit on the battlefield was a battalion, while a regiment was more often perceived as an administrative unit. It is also worth adding that a single regiment could have very different forces, ranging from 1 to 3-4 battalions. In turn, a single battalion was usually divided into 10 companies. The Scottish Regiments, especially the Highlanders, were considered to be among the best in the British Army. Their soldiers were known for their stoic calm in the face of the enemy, great discipline, very good physical preparation, as well as resistance to the hardships of long marches.

The Battle of Waterloo was fought on June 18, 1815 and was the last battle commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte with the French forces. It is assumed that on the French side, about 65,000 soldiers and 250 guns took part in the battle, while on the Anglo-Dutch and Prussian sides, a total of about 123,000 men, with about 160 guns (excluding Prussian artillery) fought. The French side was led, of course, by the emperor of the French, the allies - Arthur Wellesley, Fr. Wellington, and the Prussians - Gebhard von Blücher. British-Dutch troops, awaiting the arrival of the Prussians, but also based on the experiences of Fr. Wellington, learned from the fighting in Spain, adopted a defensive stance, and their position was supported by farm buildings. The battlefield with boggy ground, soaked with water after intense rainfall, also favored the defenders, as it made it difficult to develop a cavalry attack. The battle began around 11.30 with the French artillery cannonade, and later - with the attacks of the French infantry on the British-Dutch positions. Initially, the fight for the Hougomont farm was fought, but later also on the right flank and in the center of the Allied formation. The next phase of the battle was the British cavalry charges, which were intended to relieve the fighting infantry, which initially brought great success to the British, but were finally repulsed with considerable losses. Despite fierce fighting and attacks led by Marshal Ney, around 4.30 pm, the British positions seemed to be intact, and the Prussians, commanded by Gebhard von Blücher, were already approaching the battlefield. Finally, around 19.30, the 1st Prussian Corps entered the fight - it meant that the scales of victory were tilted towards the allies, despite the Old Guard's attack on British positions. The immediate aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo was Napoleon's abdication and the end of the Napoleonic era in the history of Europe.
