Breadalbane Fencibles MODERN Africa (Nambia)Campbell of Breadalbane The Breadalbane Fencibles were raised when John Campbell, Earl of Breadalbane, offered to raise two fencible regiments, which were completed in the summer of 1793. A third battalion was embodied a few months thereafter, under an arrangement, that its service, if necessary, should be extended to Ireland. The number of men raised was 2,300, of whom 1,600 were obtained from the estate of Breadalbane alone.
