Calshot Castle is an artillery fort built by Henry VIII on the Calshot Spit in Hampshire, England, between 1539 and 1540. It was part of the King's Device program, designed to protect against potential invasions from France and the Holy Roman Empire and to guard the entrance to Southampton Water and the Solent.

📅 Yesterday marked the 379th anniversary of The Battle of Kilsyth, 15 August 1645.

The Battle of Kilsyth in 1645 was a decisive victory for the Royalist forces led by James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, against the Covenanters during the Scottish Civil War, solidifying Royalist control over Scotland for a brief period.

Our forthcoming title from our Century of the Soldier 1618-1721 series His Majesty’s Loyal Subjects: The Scottish Royalist Armies of the British Civil Wars, 1639-1655 records in meticulous detail the various Royalist regiments and units from across the conflict.
