    It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Isobel Shaw, early hours on 28th March 2025. Isobel was wife of the late, Joe Shaw. Isobel for several years fought a long and hard battle with Altzimers and Dementia, she passed peacefully with her Children by her side. Details of the Funeral will be announced when known.
    R.I.P. Issy.

    REGIMENTAL DAY – 28TH MARCH

    Today, 28 March, the Regimental Flag is flying at Edinburgh Castle to mark this day in 1633 when
    King Charles I granted a Royal Warrant to Sir John Hepburn to raise a regiment for service initially overseas but ultimately for Crown and Country.

    The Regiment, initially known as Hepburn’s Regiment, subsequently The Royal Regiment of Foot and The First Regiment of Foot and latterly The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment), served continuously and unamalgamated for 373 years until 28 March 2006, declaring allegiance to 17 Monarchs during that period, from King Charles I to Queen Elizabeth II. To mark this day, a message has been sent to the Patron of the Regimental Association, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal. This message are included below.

    We are proud that our history and heritage is maintained and promoted by
    The Royal Scots Museum in the Castle, the Regimental Association, and The Royal Scots Club.
    Nemo me impune lacessit.

    Message to HRH The Princess Royal

    GRETNA 110
    A reminder from the Museum Outreach Team that the 22nd of May is the 110th anniversary of the Quintinshill Rail Disaster, the worst ever rail crash in Britain, when 216 Royal Scots of the 7th Battalion were killed, and many more injured, while travelling to Liverpool to embark to fight in Gallipoli.
    The well- researched GRETNA 110 exhibition which will focus on local soldiers and families stories- and include unique objects from the crash, a loop film explaining the crash, Leith Academy students displays and a families and medals research room- is taking place in the former Drill Hall in Dalmeny Street, just off Leith Walk from 19- 24 May, opening from 10am to 4.30pm daily. And the annual Regimental Memorial Service in Rosebank Cemetery will be at 1030 on 24 May.
    To find out more about the impact of the crash on the close- knit Leith and the surrounding areas communities as well as survivors who went on to fight in Gallipoli a visit to GRETNA 110 at https://www.theroyalscots.co.uk/upcoming-events/ is very much encouraged.
