I have been unable to identify what uniform my G G Grandfather John J Mitchell is wearing in the photograph.

John Mitchell was born in Scotland 1842 - The photograph was taken in the 1860's.

I will be very grateful if anyone can offer any suggestions please.

thank you
Maria

It's a bit off topic for here but given the busby on his head he's either cavalry or horse artillery. He may be a volunteer rather than a regular soldier.

There's not enough detail to narrow it down further than that. If you have any more clues let us know.

Thanks

Adam
