identity

Hi Mark ,
Looking at this I think it might be a Roll Call figure , but not Napoleonic as he has a waist belt ..and a beard and also a small pouch for the caps for his weapon . , looks around the Crimean period 1854 , battle of Alma perhaps .

References : The Osprey Books : Victorias Highlanders also The Thin Red Line by the Fosten brothers , many other references are around but these should be a good start
.
Hope this is of some help

Mark, the tassel arraignment on the sporran is strange. Difficult to ID a specific Regiment.
You could try this site. http://www.military-uniforms.com/scottish_regiments2.htm
Sorry couldn't be anymore help,
Carl.

Mark, found this its the D.F. Grieve figure mentioned.

Hi Mark,


It looks like a 93rd Sutherland Highlander, around the Crimea 1854. D.F. Grieve Models done a similar one back in the late 80's
