The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys) (SCOTS DG) is a cavalry regiment of the British Army, and the senior Scottish regiment. It was formed on 2 July 1971 at Holyrood, Edinburgh, by the amalgamation of the 3rd Carabiniers (Prince of Wales's Dragoon Guards) (themselves the product of the amalgamation in 1922 of 3rd Dragoon Guards (Prince of Wales's) and 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers)), and The Royal Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons).
The regiment has won numerous battle honours and three Victoria Crosses, and, through the Royal Scots Greys, is the oldest surviving Cavalry Regiment of the Line in the British Army. The pipes and drums have also distinguished themselves, most recently winning the award for Album of the Year at the 2009 Classical Brits.[1]
The regiment is currently based in Bad Fallingbostel, British Forces Germany, as part of the 7th Armoured Brigade ('The Desert Rats'). In 1998, it became the first regiment in the British Army to operate the Challenger 2 main battle tank.[2]
In the Army 2020 plan, it will be re-reroled to be a light cavalry unit. It will move to the Leuchars area in 2015 under the Army 2020 plan.
As a royal regiment, the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards is permitted to wear the Royal Stewart tartan, which was a privilege granted by HM King George VI, and is worn by the regiment's pipers. In addition, the Regiment's officers are permitted to wear the Black Stewart tartan. On informal occasions in their own Mess, officers may, at the discretion of the Commanding Officer, wear trews of Black Stewart tartan with their blue Undress tunics and also when in a civilian dinner jacket.
The regimental beret is in remembrance of the colour of the grey horses ridden in former times. In No.1 and No.2 dress uniform, a Peaked cap with the regimental capbadge and distinctive yellow Vandyke pattern (yellow zig-zag on a dark blue background) cap band is worn. This pattern is believed to have originated from that on the Kilmarnock bonnets worn by the Scots Greys in undress uniform at the Close of the 18th Century.
Although no longer general issue, full dress uniform is still maintained by the Regiment for special occasions. Full dress uniform consists of a bearskin hat with white hackle and badge of the Kings of Hanover on the back, British Heavy Cavalry scarlet tunic, dark blue pantaloons with double yellow stripes down the seams, boots and spurs.
The bass drummer of the Pipes and Drums however wears a distinctive white bearskin with a red hackle. The white bearskin was given to the Regiment by Tsar Nicholas II in 1894, on his becoming Colonel in Chief of The Royal Scots Greys. With the Royal Stuart kilt and plaid, the pipers wear a dark blue doublet and feather bonnet with a white hackle and yellow Vandyke cap band.
The Mess Kit is scarlet with yellow facings and a yellow waistcoat, embroidered with gold thistles. Officers' cloaks are dark blue with a scarlet lining and grenade clasp. The field officers wear straight silver spurs with rowels ornamented with thistles, like their gold sword knots which are also fashioned like the head of a thistle. The spurs of the Colonel and Commanding Officer are gold.

Historical fact Scottish King takes over England that's the fact James 6th of Scotland United's Scotland and England and forms the biggest empire the world had ever seen ie The British Empire was built on Scottish intelligence and English money then again Scotland is only even today 5m Vs England's 50m then again cream us always at the top just look at a map of the UK!

[@ralphyboy25]

I'm hearing a little bit more than just "Bagpipes & Drums", but that's ok.. ;-) Great photos!

[@briancoxall3903]

ralphyboy25 If, you can look at the album jacket, look for Mark Konfier's (did I spell his name correctly) from Dire Straits, he is involved with a number of pieces with RSDG, this one could be one of them, he and only he, yet perhaps a very few others, could put such good guitar work into such a piece as this, very wild with life this piece.

[@briancoxall3903]

ralphyboy25 I did spell his name wrong, Mark Knopfler, (forget me) it's on the Going Home album by RSDG.

[@ralphyboy25]

brian coxall Wow! Mark Knopfler ! It all makes sense now. Yes I can hear his unique guitar strains. Now I'm going to have to definitely purchase this CD. thanks.

[@briancoxall3903]

Great video concept and brilliant music. Takes me back home with pride to the Highlands. One comment I would redo the video with original hi-res images. Excellent views but spoilt by poor processing and don't do full justice to them. Also slow down the transitions and pans to gain from the shot. Once done it would make a huge difference to the viewing.

The pipes stir the hearts of all celts nothing in the world like it.

[@Grenadier311]

The sentiment applies no less to those of us now in America retaining the red fire in our beards and hearts with still remembered, never forgotten and honored roots that alight our hearts as well when we hear the fiddle and pipe play. Blood calls to blood.
