Razzo,
Welcome to the forum.
I am not aware of any current Camerons but there may have been quite a while ago.
The main current Scottish K&C figures are :
Napoleonic : Black Watch and Scots Grey
Crimean War (K&C UK) - Argyles
WWI - Kings Own Scottish Borderers
WW2 Black Watch Band and Gordons' under the 8th Army series plus some generic Scots Tank Riders.
Plus a few well known Scots such as David Stirling SAS and MAJGEN Urquart from the Airborne.
From the above I would think the Cameron's need some representation. Andy the head of the King and Country clan is a Scot so might be sympathetic.
Regards
Brett

Don't know about K and C but Ducal has an excellent Cameron Highlanders Pipe and Drums band. I understand they are going to cease production so you might want to check on their offerings quickly. I also recall that Front line made some WW2 Cameron's in North Africa.

Imperial's Heirloom sets were Cameron Highlanders in the Sudan. They are quite nice. As some other folks had mentioned, Figarti has done two sets of Camerons in the desert (4 advancing and 2 wounded as an add on set), and Ducal has done their pipes and drums.
As far as I recall, K&C never did Cameron Highlanders as regular production figures (Gordon might have done some repaints of Seaforths or Blackwatch figures into Camerons, but I never came across any). To my recollection, K&C did Glossy Seaforths, Glossy Highland Light Infantry, Black Watch in both Glossy and Matt, Gordons in glossy (Napoleonic) and matt, and 92nd (later Sutherland) Highlanders from the Crimea.
