In Douglas on 14th May 1689, the Cameronian Regiment (26th Foot) was raised as part of the British Army. The statue depicts the regiment's first colonel, James Douglas, Earl of Angus, pointing to the surrounding hills where he was able to raise so many loyal men. Just three years later Douglas was killed, leading his men into battle against the French at the battle of Steinkirk (Flanders).
The Cameronians went on to give distinguished service in every major campaign of the British Army for 279 years. This memorial was built in 1892 to mark the regiment's bicentenial. On this spot in 1968, the regiment was disbanded and its flag was lowered for the last time.
