Positivity?

The first few paragraphs are exclusively positive... I mean, was he really so perfect? If he was alive I would have thought he was the one who wrote it... surely there can be some sort of balance, as it currently reads like a puff piece... 80.42.137.100 (talk) 02:10, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Highland regiments

Pitt the Elder seems to be credited largely with the idea of raising the Highland regiments, as a way of pacifying the Highlands further by diverting "wild" Scotsmen away from Jacobite rebellion and into military service to the empire. But our article on him doesn't say anything about this.

I got this from:

  • Script error: No such module "citation/CS1".

I would think that various histories of the regiments would also mention it.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  17:00, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
