...and in the clip, the big red-headed corporal leading the kilted Platoon is also a highlander. Note the red hackle in his beret. In the bar brawl scene you can see clearly that he is a member of the Royal Highland Regiment of Canada ( The Black Watch). Just in case you missed it.

A great movie BTW.

At this time in the history of the world, I do believe there are more kilted regiments in Canada than in any other country, including Scotland.

I think we have seventeen, and that's after losing a few.

Hi Bill, a quick count would seem to indicate 16 Highland Regiments and 17 kilted; but maybe I missed one. For those who are wondering how that can be .... see the Irish Regiment of Canada.

Isn't Scotland amalgamated into just one (Royal Regiment of Scotland)? Well I guess the Atholl Highlanders would count as a second...

Madmacs... you are correct, and I do not know off the top of my head how many highland reserve units there may be. In Canada, all the Highland regiments are part of the reserve force.

Without going into minute detail, The Royal Regiment of Scotland is made up of seven Battalions. Five regular infantry Battalions and two TA(part time/reserve) infantry Battalions.
