THE ROYAL SCOTS (LOTHIAN REGIMENT). The 1st Battalion Royal Scots sailed as corps troops, and when Sir William F. Gatacre's division was taken to Natal, the Royal Scots, along with the 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers, 2nd Royal Irish Rifles, and part of the Berkshire Regiment, were put under his command in the Queenstown district. General Gatacre was never strong enough to do anything effective, and his attempt at Stormberg (see 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers) ended in one of the most severe defeats received by the British during the war. The Royal Scots were not actually engaged that day. Part of the battalion held the detraining-point at Molteno Station, and it has been suggested that they should have been allowed to go out to the assistance of their sorely-pressed comrades in their retreat. It is to the credit of the Royal Scots that they did ask leave to go out.1 At Cyphergat on 3rd January, and subsequently at various times in the Molteno-Dordrecht district, the Royal Scots saw some fighting, and thus got invaluable 1 Major Pollock, 'With Seven Generals in the Boer War, ' Skeffington, 1900, p. 63. Major Pollock gives an admirable account of Stormberg and of all the other work in that district during December 1899 and January following. training for heavier work. After the occupation of Bloemfontein the Illrd Division had another mishap at Reddersburg, when 500 of the Royal Irish Rifles were cut off and surrendered after a stand which cannot be characterised as heroic. The general had then to demit his office, and the division, such as it was, passed to General Chermside. When Wepener was besieged the garrison included the Mounted Infantry company of the Royal Scots, which had been doing good work under General Brabant; and among the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Regiments in South Africa, 1899-1902 The Scottish Horse, practically a portion of the second lot, is a brilliant example of what could be done by training and a careful selection of oficers. They got good opportunities, they paid the price for their glory ungrudgingly, and it is beyond doubt that many other battalions of the Imperial Yeomanry would have willingly done the same. Lord Kitchener's reference to the Met company (one of the 23rd Battalion, Sharp shooters, also of the second lot which sacrificed itself almost to a man for Damant'e guns, should always be proudly remembered by Englishmen, especially by those who are interested in the problem Can a civil ian rapidly become a useful soldier The reference answers the question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This regimental history chronicles the Dandy Ninth Battalion Royal Scots from its first forays in the Boer War through the brutal fighting of WWI. After suffering the disastrous Black Week of the Second Boer War, the British Army formed a new Highland battalion, the kilted 9th Royal Scots, which became affectionately known as the Dandy Ninth. It sent volunteers to South Africa and established itself as Edinburgh’s kilted battalion, part of the Territorial Force of part-time soldiers. Mobilized in 1914 as part of the Lothian Brigade, the Dandy Ninth defended Edinburgh from the threat of invasion, and constructed part of the landward defenses around Liberton Tower. They were part-time soldiers and new recruits, drawn from the breadth of society, from lawyers to rugby players and artists, such as the Scottish Colorist F.C.B. Cadell, and William Geissler of the Edinburgh School. In the Great War they mobilized to France and Flanders and served in many of the major actions: in Ypres and on the Somme; at Arras and Cambrai in 1917; and during the 1918 German Spring Offensive at St Quentin. In the Advance to Victory, they were with the 15th (Scottish) Division.
