Scottish Regiments

Many years ago, my interest in military history was piqued by a regimental badge I came across. I had a feeling from the badge the regiment was based in Scotland, I was correct, however, I was wrong about which regiment. I thought it could have been the King's Own Scottish Borderers, it is from another famous regiment, the Seaforth Highlanders.

The odd thing about the connection between my badge, and my history, is that the regiment has its base in Inverness, not far from Elgin, where I was sttioned when I was in the Royal Air Force. Having served in Scotland, I am entitled to wear the RAF tartan, not that I would as my knees show the scars of many falls.

I did consider the option when I was in Scotland, also I thought about buying a book on the history of the clans.

A little-known fact is I own some land in Scotland
