On March 28th 1642, the Scots Guards Regiment was formed.

In 1642 Archibald Campbell, the 1st Marques of Argyll, as seen in the forst pic, was also instructed by The King to raise a Royal Regiment of 1,500 men to act as Royal Guard to the King when he visited Ireland. This Regiment was named the ‘Marquis of Argyll’s Royal Regiment’ and Argyll appointed Sir Duncan Campbell of Auchinbreck as Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment, which swiftly moved to Ireland. It remained in Ulster while Civil War raged in England and Scotland until 1649, when King Charles I was executed. The much depleted Regiment then crossed to Scotland and was referred to as the ‘Irish Companies’.

In 1650 it welcomed King Charles II to Scotland from France who was proclaimed King of Scots. The King took the ‘Irish Companies’ as his ‘Lyfe Guards of Foot’ and were soon engaged in action at the Battle of Dunbar, were the Scottish Army was defeated by Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army. In 1651 King Charles II once again engaged the Parliamentary Forces at the Battle of Worcester and was once again defeated. The King managed to escape to France but the Regiment was scattered and ceased to exist.

King Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660 after the abdication of Richard Cromwell (son of Oliver Cromwell) as Lord Protector in 1659. The Regiment was reformed in 1661 as the ‘Scottish Regiment of Foot Guards’ and garrisoned at Edinburgh and Dumbarton Castles. The Regiment was engaged in Scotland suppressing the Convenanters uprising against the King, who challenged many of the religious reforms imposed on them, finally defeating them at the Bothwell Brig in 1679.

The regiment has fought in all major conflicts over the past 380years and nowadays comprises of the Battalion (the fighting component), F Company (ceremonial), Scots Guards Association (veterans), charity, recruiting team as well as the Pipes and Drums*
