I had the pleasure and the honour to serve with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in Edinburgh when Jim Mc Bain was QM,Shuggy Ballantine was RSM and CO was Lt.Col Graham (later General if I believe correctly),I can honestly say it was without a doubt the best unit I had served with in my 22 years in the Army.It's a shame to see them reduced to a small company strength.

(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.
@Mitch Wild If you listen carefully you will hear me ask politely "excuse me" I never asked him to move. Only i will know what i was going to ask him but he ignored me. Not a problem as he was busy keeping the line.
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.

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. Tom
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? 👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿🇬🇧
@@ericmcwilliams7629 So you think that they joined the BRITISH ARMED FORCES but didnt swear allegiance to the crown or promise to defend it ??? Off your meds by any chance ???
@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.
@@katerinakemp5701 her point was she is a racist and was trying to hide it. Clearly she has no idea the roll commonwealth soldiers play in the British Army.
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.
Easy mistake to make Aj as both wear the same tartan - when worn by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders , whereas with the Black Watch it is kilted to show the blue.
My deepest respect! from the U,S.A with Scottish Ancestry.
Ahhh the Argyll & Bolton wanderers!! Love em
Awesome sounds marching
Greatest respect from an Englishman.
Indeed he would. Our friend, Alistair was the Warrant Officer when they were at Plymouth barracks. We had many a 'fun' time at the Ladies nights in the Officers Mess. Mitch wasn't known as 'Mad Mitch', for nothing.
Proud Scotmen all.
Thank You
Great turnout lads!☺👍
The old vets didn't forget their pride or how to march ! Good on all of em.
The strength of Britain!
Finishing with Highland Cathedral - superb. Long live the Argylls in Scottish memories.
Yes - Superb, Long live The Argyles in ALL British memories.
Mitch would be happy🏴🥃

Hannetjie Kruger Breathtaking I love scotland and the sound of bagpipes!
We used to have the same regiment in Canada
We still do, a primary reserve regiment in Hamilton Ontario, Canada.

Respect to these soldier. Just a pitty that the pipes and drums are accompanied by the brass.

Mate was there a David gourley in your com . It looks like him first guy on the right
Could u let me know
You don't tell an Officer to move "you move"
@Mitch Wild If you listen carefully you will hear me ask politely "excuse me" I never asked him to move. Only i will know what i was going to ask him but he ignored me. Not a problem as he was busy keeping the line.
He was a CSM, Company Sergeant Major
Not an Officer
Albainn Gubrath from an old Canadian Argyll !!
7:58: Are the officers a wee bit out of step?
Admiration for the Scots from a Greek
much respect
Sharp drill too men!
The Foot Drill of all concerned is 1st-Class!
Who are the split tails?
Why is the British Government reducing the Scottish regiments so much? I'm a curious Canadian.
Mind your own business

You mean the MoD is going to squeeze a whole battalion down into a mere company ... and only light at that?
Homeboys be rolling
A fine Regiment, excellent at dealing with the Arab (historically)
Didn't the Argyll and Sutherlands merge with the Gordon Highlanders to form the Queen's Own in 2006?
I sware to god guy in a com looks like an old school mate
'Sware'? Did you go to school?
