Three Scottish units face elimination

[Ron Abbott]

Yes, it's a pity that you can't see the Pipes & Drums.

They certainly still had a Pipes & Drums in mid June 2013, there is a video on youtube of them at Canterbury Cathedral in June 2013 and it's certainly their own Pipes & Drums in that.

The official army website only mentions that each of the battalions has a Pipes & Drums, however as the Argylls (5 SCOTS) are no longer a battalion, I'm not sure whether that takes us anywhere.

Furthermore, I don't think 52 Lowland (6 SCOTS) still has a Pipes & Drums, and if so; then what is recorded on the army website is not 100% accurate.

So what's left when it comes to Pipes & Drums of the British Army ?

Royal Scots Borderers (1 SCOTS)
Royal Highland Fusiliers (2 SCOTS)
Black Watch (3 SCOTS)
Highlanders (4 SCOTS)
51 Highland (7 SCOTS - Army Reserve)

Then outwith the RRS :

1st Bn. Scots Guards
Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
1st Royal Tank Regiment
Royal Corps of Signals
19 Regiment, Royal Artillery
1st Bn. Irish Guards
Queens Royal Hussars
Royal Dragoon Guards (?)
1st Bn. Royal Irish Regiment
1st Bn. Royal Gurkha Rifles
2nd Bn. Royal Gurkha Rifles

London Scottish, London Regiment - Army Reserve
London Irish, London Regiment - Amy Reserve
103 Regiment, Royal Artillery - Army Reserve
102 Regiment, REME - Army Reserve
2nd Bn. Royal Irish Regiment - Army Reserve
Aberdeen Universities OTC - Army Reserve
Edinburgh City Universities OTC - Army Reserve
Glasgow City Universities OTC - Army Reserve
Tayforth Universities OTC - Army Reserve
Scottish Transport Regiment, RLC - mainly civilians ?
101 Northumbrian Regiment, Royal Artillery - mainly civilians ?

That's all I can think of at the moment. There used to be so many more, especially TA/Reserve.
