Can anyone identify the Scottish Regiment please?
« on: Saturday 19 January 08 15:51 GMT (UK) »
Hello!

I wonder if anyone could identify this regiment please? The photo was taken on 12th July 1941 in Edinburgh.

Many thanks

Judy
Best wishes, Judy :-))

The badge on the sporran looks like Seaforth Highlanders, but we need the resident expert on these matters...atom12!
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Hi Anne!!

Thank you very much for the link!

If you are interested, I put the photo on the Photo Restoration board and had 2 super replies -  the colour one is particulary outstanding!

Take a look here -

Hi Judy

I wonder if your Seaforth Highlander could be a bandsman!
