{{Origin|text=The following history of the Scots Brigade is largely extracted from ''The Connaught Rangers - 2nd Battalion, Formerly 94th Foot'' by Lieutenant-Colonel H.F.N. Jourdain, C.M.G., published in London in 1926. For the most part Cathy Day has extracted it verbatim, and occasionally added some clarifying words, or shortened very lengthy descriptions of fortresses!}}
