I am a little intrigue that `Scotland` is the theme. I know...Highlands is Scotland but John Rigby was from Irland and they have mountain and hillcountry in Irland

Rigby also mailed me an advertisement of a Whisky with again `Scotland as a theme. If Rigby should have done anything they should have had an Irish Whisky with their name on it.
Is my observation wrong..?..
Though John Rigby & Son founded their business in Dublin, Ireland 1735, they opened a London shop at 72 St James Street in 1866. In 1897 they sold their Dublin branch to Truelock, Harris & Richardson. So they were a pure English gunmaker, catering to Scottish highland stalkers and colonial big game hunters, at the time they offered their .275 Mauser Rifles.
