Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beginning as a force for the policing of the Scottish Lowlands, the regiment came presently to be a kind of microcosm of the Lowland character, a thing as idiomatically Scottish as the Kirk itself." When Scottish Presbyterians, known as the Covenanters, broke out in rebellion a new lowland regiment was formed to fight for the King. Known initially as The Earl of Mar's Regiment of Foot, the regiment was formed of men with little military background. Initially, their task was not a glamourous one - to keep the peace and scour the moorlands for conventicles and recalcitrant Covenanters. However, in 1679 the regiment fought its first battle at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge. From then, famous battlefields saw the blood of the Royal Scots at Culloden, Fort Ticonderoga and Schellenburg. They served with Marlborough under the cannonballs of Blenheim, and Haines through the fog of Inkerman. And when the Great War tore through Europe in 1914, the Royal Scots Fusiliers marched to war again. Battalions from the Royal Scots saw service in most of the main theatres of this far reaching war. Throughout these years, their battles took them across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Its reputation consistently reflected trustworthiness and the will to stand till the last man. In Spring 1916, while stationed near Ploegsteert Wood on the Western Front, the 6th Battalion welcomed its new commanding officer: future Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The History of the Royal Scots Fusiliers (1678-1918) is a detailed account of the regiment from its formation to the end of the First World War. Due to the Regiments vast amount of battle honours this regimental history also serves as history of British wars since the Restoration. John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir (1875-1940) was a Scottish novelist, biographer, and historian. Buchan also worked as a general editor. Many of his non-fiction novels were inspired by his own experiences and circumstances. His works include South Africa (1927), The Half-Hearted (1900), Witch Wood (1927), amongst many others. Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps during the war, a novel which was adapted for film.
Download or read book The Royal Scots written by Trevor Royle and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Scots are Scotland's oldest infantry regiment, with a tradition that stretches back to 1633. This first concise history of the regiment is based largely on the recollections of several generations of Royal Scots - men like Private McBane, who carried his three-year-old son into battle at Malplaquet, and Private Begbie, the youngest soldier to serve in the First World War. These first-hand accounts take the reader through the great wars of the eighteenth century, when Britain was a rising global power, through the setbacks and the triumphs of the Napoleonic Wars and on to the glorious years of the nineteenth century. The two world wars of the twentieth century saw the Royals expand in size, and there are full accounts of its meritorious service on all the main battle fronts. More recently, the regiment has been involved in operations in the Balkans and Iraq. In 2006, in one of the most radical changes in the country's defence policy, the Royal Scots will be amalgamated into the new Royal Regiment of Scotland. Royal Scots is, therefore, a timely celebration of the British Army's most venerable regiment, right of the line and second to none.
