Hi Folks,
Sorry to Jump in, As an Argyll still serving after 26 years I thought it prudent to point a few things out. Although we are now known as the 5th battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland we are still The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders 5th battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland or 5 SCOTS on Operations. The only thing in the new dress that we have left is the kilt. The tartan is based on the Argyll Officers Goverment No 1A and the pleats are boxed but we an SNCO;s and above have inherited the Black Watch Ribbons. As far as kilts go don,t listed to anyone or take any EXPERT!!!! advice. If you feel like a SCOT then be a SCOT and wear whatever kilt you want. Glad to hear that your family have served in this most Magnificent regiment.
