<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Seaforths and Camerons were fighting abroad in the late 1700s, the Highlands needed protection against possible invasion; the Volunteers were initially responsible for keeping an enemy attack at bay, and were reinforced by the Militia in 1797. Still in need of home defense, the Militia were reinforced by the Territorials in 1907, which later evolved into the Territorial Army, which is still active today.<\/p>\n

LOVAT SCOUTS<\/h3>\n

(1899 – 1967)<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lovat Scouts were a unique regiment of the British Army that was initially raised to challenge the guerilla warfare tactics of the Boers (descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa) during the Second Boer War (1899 – 1900). Comprised of ghillies, stalkers, gamekeepers, and shepherds, their understanding of reconnaissance and \u2018fieldcraft\u2019 made them a force to be reckoned with, and greatly contributed to British victory in South Africa.<\/p>\n

WORLD WAR I<\/h3>\n

Thousands of brave Seaforths, Camerons, and Lovat Scouts fought in the Great War, cementing the reputation of Highland regiments as fearless and tirelessly brave. Crucially, World War I also involved civilian volunteers and conscripts from all over Scotland and the Highlands, contributing to Britain\u2019s success in defeating the Germans in 1918.

WORLD WAR II<\/h3>\n

(1939 – 1945)<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty-one years after the Seaforths, Camerons, and Lovat Scouts first fought in the Great War, the Second World War commenced in 1939. Following a difficult start to the War with surrenders at St Valery and Tobruk, the regiments fought to eventual victory. Serving in battlefields across the globe, from France and Germany to North Africa and East Asia, they amassed 118 Battle Honours; read their incredible story.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In February 1961, major defense adjustments led to the amalgamation of the regiments to form the Queens\u2019 Own Highlanders (Seaforths and Camerons). The newly formed regiment served in Singapore, North Borneo, and Brunei, but by 1971 operations were closer to home with regular operational tours in Northern Ireland. Following involvement in the Falklands, Hong Kong, Belize, and the Gulf War, the regiment was destined for further restructuring in 1994.<\/p>\n

THE HIGHLANDERS<\/h3>\n

(1994 – 2006)<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1994, the Queens\u2019 Own Highlanders (Seaforths and Camerons) were amalgamated with the Gordon Highlanders, creating The Highlanders (Seaforths, Gordons, and Camerons). The collapse of Communism, the end of the Cold War, and The Troubles in Northern Ireland heavily impacted the British Army; in 2006, yet another reorganisation resulted in a single multi-battalion Scottish infantry regiment, and The Highlanders became known as the 4th Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland.<\/p>\n
