Pedant hat on: The Tartan is 'Elcho' which is a styalised version of Hodden Grey in colour and which is the same as the tartan used by the London Scottish. Pedant Hat off.
Thanks very much for this interesting info. Do you know how many of them are still serving? How do the Canadians manage when the British Army only has three active Scottish Line Infantry Regiments. The 5 Regular and 2 Territorial Battalions of the The Royal Regiment of Scotland, the London Scottish at company strength and the Liverpool Scottish as platoon strength (although they supply a lot of the soldiers for the non-LS Platoons in the Company).
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
