Military records identify individuals who either served or were eligible to serve in the military.  
'''1707''' was a pivotal year because it was when the [[England|Kingdom of England]] and the [[Scotland|Kingdom of Scotland]] where unified and became the [[Great Britain|Kingdom of Great Britain]]. This brought about a new British Army, which incorporated regiments that had already existed in England and Scotland.

Before 1707 Scotland had its own military. During that time, people were only called up when needed. They were dismissed when the need was met. Few records were kept during this time.
