The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards are Scotland’s most senior and only regular cavalry regiment, formed in 1678. The Regiment has recently re-rolled to Light Cavalry after 75 years in tanks and has also moved from Germany to Fife. The Regiment is currently undergoing training to be at readiness as the Light Cavalry Regiment of choice.
The new role of Light Cavalry is at the forefront of the British Army’s organisation, primarily as a mounted combat unit, but also working alongside other armies around the world.
The Regiment’s Home Headquarters is in Edinburgh Castle. The Colonel of the Regiment and the Regimental Secretary have offices there. The Regimental Museum is also there, where the history of the Regiment is explained in a state-of-the-art exhibition high up in the Castle itself.
The serving regiment is currently based in Leuchars, Fife, where they are based in Waterloo lines and are part of 51 Brigade.
As part of the Light Cavalry Role soldiers from the SCOT DG can be posted across the globe on Exercises, Training Teams or Operations; however Fife will remain the regiment’s home.

Tour of Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Edinburgh Castle is probably one of the most recognisable landmarks when you think of Edinburgh.
Edinburgh Castle is a castle fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock.
From the top of, you get breathtaking views over the streets of Edinburgh, Princes Street Gardens and the Firth of Forth.
The summit of the Castle Rock is 120 metres (390 ft) above sea level, with rocky cliffs to the south, west and north, rearing up to 80 metres (260 ft) from the surrounding landscape. This means that the only readily accessible route to the castle lies to the east, where the ridge slopes more gently.

Romanovs: Tsar Nicholas II: Scots Greys
Best viewed in full screen :)
This is a short Birthday Tribute to His Imperial Majesty, Tsar Nicholas II, (1868-1918).
Music: Flowers of the Forest played by the band of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. This lament is often played as a tribute to the fallen.
On 20th April 1894, Tsesarevich Nicholas, (later Tsar Nicholas II) became engaged to Queen Victoria's favourite granddaughter, Alix of Hesse. Later, in summer 1894 the engaged couple visited Queen Victoria who held a formal celebration dinner for them during their stay at Windsor Castle. To their dismay, poor Nicholas and Alex where rather too heavily chaperoned at Windsor, on Queen Victoria's orders :)
Queen Victoria invited Tsesarevich Nicholas to become the Honorary Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons), Scotland's oldest cavalry regiment. The Tsesarevich graciously accepted the appointment and told Queen Victoria that he looked forward to wearing the Royal Scots Greys uniform when he next visited her.
A Scots Greys uniform was tailored for Nicholas in London and was then delivered to him in Russia by four Scots Greys officers. By then, Nicholas had become Tsar. The uniform was a perfect fit, though Tsar Nicholas insisted on wearing his Russian boots and spurs rather than the Scots Greys footwear. Each of the Scots Greys officers was awarded a different medal by Tsar Nicholas. Apparently, they bickered with each other over whose was the prettiest medal :)
In 1896 Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra, together with their first child, Grand Duchess Olga, visited Queen Victoria at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. They were escorted by The Royal Scots Greys. As he had promised, Tsar Nicholas wore his Scots Greys uniform for Queen Victoria. He also wore that uniform to receive the British Ambassador in Russia during his reign.
Tsar Nicholas presented the Scots Greys with white bearskin hats for their bass and mounted kettle drummers. To this day those drummers still wear white bearskins.
Tsar Nicholas II remained the Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Scots Greys until he and his family were murdered in Russia in 1918. Thereafter, the Royal Scots Greys (since 1971, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards) always wear their hat badge on a black background in mourning for the Tsar.
During Officers Mess dinner nights, where the band is present, the Imperial Russian National Anthem, God Save the Tsar, is played in memory of the Tsar.
A portrait of Tsar Nicholas wearing his Scots Greys uniform hangs in the Regiment's museum at Edinburgh Castle. His actual Scots Greys tunic and bearskin hat are displayed at Tsarskoe Selo , near St Petersburg, Russia.
Members of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards attended the burial of the Tsar and Imperial Family at St Petersburg in 1998. Afterwards, (I'm not sure when), the Regiment was presented with an Icon of Tsar Nicholas II. The Icon now travels with the Regiment wherever they go and was carried into battle in the Regiment's lead tank during the invasion of Iraq.

◄ Glasgow - Scotland's Biggest City ►
In recent years, Glasgow has been awarded the European titles of City of Culture (1990), City of Architecture and Design (1999) and Capital of Sport (2003). In 2008, Glasgow became the 2nd Scottish city to join the UNESCO Creative Cities initiative when it was named as a UNESCO City of Music (joining Bologna and Seville). In preparing its bid, Glasgow counted an average of 130 music events a week ranging from pop and rock to Celtic music and opera. The city has transformed itself from being the once mighty powerhouse of industrial Britain to a centre for commerce, tourism, and culture. Glasgow will be the host city for the Commonwealth Games in 2014.
Glasgow has become one of the most visited cities in the British Isles, and visitors will find a revitalised city centre, the best shopping outside London without a doubt, excellent parks and museums (most of which are free), and easy access to the Highlands and Islands.

2 Scots - The Royal Highland Fusiliers parade Glasgow 2013
On 15 November 2013 the Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (2 Scots), took part in a homecoming parade in Glasgow. They marched from Holland Street to George Square in the city centre. The Battalion recently returned from a six month tour in Afghanistan.
The Scottish public were out in force to welcome more than 400 soldiers from the Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (2 Scots) who have just returned from Afghanistan.
The unit was deployed to Helmand Province in April this year and worked with the Afghan police to help improve their capability.
The soldiers were welcomed to the city by Lord Provost Sadie Docherty.
She said the homecoming parade marked the great association the Royal Highland Fusiliers have with the city.
Mrs Docherty added: You can be assured you are held in the highest regard in Glasgow and across Scotland.
The challenges you met on a daily basis are unimaginable to most of us who watched you march.
You may be assured we are all proud and grateful to witness your safe return and you should all be proud of what you have achieved individually and collectively.
We all, like you, fervently hope stability and peace will be established in Afghanistan.
The people of Glasgow wish you all the very best for the future and hope it will not be as long before we see the battalion in the city once again.
Tragically, three soldiers from the battalion were killed and six injured when their vehicle was struck by an explosive device.
Lieutenant Colonel Robin Lindsay said: Our thoughts have been and will continue to be with the families of the three soldiers who were killed on operations.
Our role was to advise and liaise with the Afghan Uniformed Police.
They were outstanding.
