I'm going to Stockholm next month for a week
I don't know of any memorials etc. with Scottish connections over there but thought I'd ask in case anyone knows of anything that I could photograph.
Cheers.

A lot of Scottish mercenaries fought for Swededn in the 30 Years War in the Seventeenth century. A few rose to high rank.

There's a bit about their service here:
