The Royal Ecossois and that mitre cap

I suppose that the Royal Ecossois is a "must have" addition to my French army collection.
I live close to Culloden so it was only natural that I should paint up a unit of these fellows.
By the time of the Seven years war, the unit had adopted the tricorne and white breaches, but they can still double up as a unit in my Jacobite army as required.
The regiment was based at Calais in 1756, probably eager to be part of the invasion force planning to attack Britain, and claim back the crown for the Jacobites. They did not see much action during the war, and from 1760 it was part of Broglie's army.
As a single btn regiment, I will got for a unit of 6-7 bases of 4 figures, plus a colonel and sergeant figure. Flags have already been painted by the incomparable MA.

I have always been intrigued by the grenadier mitre cap in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. It is a thing of real beauty and simply oozes quality of manufacture.
The cap is blue velvet in the front, with a star of the order of Thistle, with silver lace decoration.
The bag at the back is red silk. It is now disputed if this was worn by the grenadier company or if it just made for an officer or as a gift or presentation. Given the cost of production, it is highly doubtful if it would have been issued to a full company, particularly while campaigning,
But as wargamers and model soldier fanatics, we have the opportunity to put our own interpretation into our armies, so for me, a company or one base stand of grenadiers wearing mitre caps is a must.
So my project for today was to convert four figurines and add the appropriate heads ....
I look forward to seeing the full regiment with flags flying and mitre capped grenadiers
