The Seaforth Highlanders ceased to exist as an individual Regiment in, I think, 1961. Civilian box pleats in Scotland are rarer then hen's teeth and in 70 years I have not seen one for real. It was not until I joined this website, that I knew that they even existed.They may have been revived in other parts of the world, but I have yet to be convinced that there is any sort of revival here.
