We are the re-created Company of Alexander Sutherland, part of the 2nd Battalion, 71st Highlanders. We portray a British Army company of the American Revolution.   As a campaigner unit, we try to portray a field unit as it was, including sleeping under the stars, eating period food,  learning the profession of 18th Century arms,  and, in general, acting like part of the British military.  We are  loyal soldiers of the Crown that happen to be Scottish rather than Jacobites or their sympathizers.  We are most acitive geographically in Virginia and and the Carolinas.
