bydand is the Gordon's motto. Caber Feigh was the battle cry of The Seaforth Highlanders, who amalgamated with the Cameron Highlanders. This new regiment was called the Queens own Highlanders. This new regiment then amalgamated with The Gordon highlanders to form The 1st Battalion the Highlanders. That regiment is now the 4th battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
