      Part of an Army wide reorganisation. Smaller full-time component, bigger reliance on reserves and, it is said, more security with postings and better training opportunities for larger formations, rather than individual, and mostly under-strength, battalions.

    (Posted by Rick Pickell) Hearing both the bag-piipes and the March stirs something within me. Like I need to stand up just work and stomp someone's arse into the ground til they can't move. Why is that!?? Hearing it all makes me just a little nutty. 🥴🤪🤨 The music just stirs some deep hidden emotions. They sound awesome. But just can't figure out why I react this way.

    HI TOM , I Just Came Across Your Video after all this time. ---- Yes ,I have watched many Vid's as re. The Various Scottish Regiments over the years. --- I thought that your Introduction to this Video. Was / is Very interesting asto what happened to the Soldiers after they were broken up & disbanded as THE A & S. Highlander's. ---- I know that they are now the Balaclava Regiment , what's left of them . Very sad the G.ment Cutting them all down. ------ Anyway , Many thinks for recording this . Have You got anymore of the A & S. H.Landers or the other regiments Marching in Your Hometown. ----- Tom , was that you saying Excuse me to the Officer before he walked off. ----- * was this the Final March of the & S. H.Landers. ----- Once again Many thanks . John in London.

      Hi John - Glad you enjoyed my short movie - i have some footage of another parade with the A&SH when the battalion returned from a tour in Afghanistan but it is lying in the vault somewhere. Yeah that was me trying to excuse the fine gentleman from blocking my view. He had all of that road to stand to the side but chose to stand right in front of me. I needed to be polite in asking him to move as he had 350 of his mates with him on parade.
      I think this was their second last parade before they moved onto Stirling.

    Thanks for posting this, Tom, It’s a fine parade and the video has encouraged a few ignorant bigoted arseh*les to crawl out from under their rocks which is always nice. What do you think about the transfer of 1RRS to the new ‘Ranger’ regiment? Can’t be great for morale to lose all this proud tradition and esprit de corps if they are rebadged. What about the serving Celtic fans fans?

      @Marko : Sorry to disappoint you but you are totally wrong. The British Armed Services recruit from Commonwealth Nations as ALL their Citizens have a "birth-right" to apply to join the British Armed Forces, provided they are of good character and with no criminal record at home. Once in the Regiment, future promotion is purely on ability. The Africans, along with the Fijians, tend to favour prestigious Regiments (like the Scottish ones) or the Brigade of Guards and Household Cavalry. While serving they retain their own Commonwealth Nationality and will hold their own passports as "not being a British Citizen" is not an issue. The issue is, who you can trust, and in a fire-fight you can trust these guys. This might interest you, ruclips.net/video/B8bN6-ThzPI/видео.html
      Sorry if the aforesaid offends your sensitivities, get over it.

      Why not? I bet if you spoke to them they'd have Scottish accents! (Or at least obvious Brit ones) So what if they are black? Not at all unusual in any British regiment surely... What century do YOU live in? The British Army has a much longer tradition than many (like you, obviously) think of multicultural make up....IIRC In that excellent book "Pegasus Bridge" (about the D-day coup de main glider operation by a company of the "Ox and Bucks") there is a bit where the men are blackening their faces for the night operation... "Darkie" Baines (one of several black guys in the unit according to the book) is offered the makeup/charcoal and says dryly "I don't think I'll bother"... Just brilliant.
