The 51st Highland Volunteers was a regiment and is now a battalion in the British Army's Territorial Army (TA) or reserve force in the Scottish Highlands, part of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. In contrast with the 52nd Lowland Regiment, a similar regiment located in the Lowlands of Scotland, the 51st Highland Volunteers consist of a number of infantry companies scattered in various regions of the Highlands. Both 51st Highland Volunteers and 52nd Lowland Volunteers were unique in that each of their companies was officially the reserve element of a regular infantry regiment in the Scottish Division.

The 51st Highland Volunteers were formed in 1967 from the amalgamation of territorial battalions of regiments in the Highland Brigade. In 1999, however, the regiment was re-organized and became the 51st Highland Regiment.

The name commemorated that of the 51st Highland Division, which consisted of the Regiment's antecedent Territorial Battalions, and fought during the First and Second World Wars.

[edit] Structure of the Regiment 1967-1971

The 51st Highland Volunteers were formed as a TAVRII (NATO reserve role) unit on 1 April 1967 with headquarters located at Perth, Scotland:

In 1969, three TAVRIII (Home defence) battalions were reduced in size and amalgamated into the 51st Highland Volunteers, forming three additional companies:

[edit] 1971-1975

On 1 April 1971 the 51st Highland Volunteers split into two battalions. A third battalion was subsequently formed as well on 1 April 1975.

In 1981 the 3rd Battalion effectively became the Territorial battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and in 1995 became the 7th/8th (V) Battalion of that regiment, while the 2nd Battalion became the 3rd (V) Battalion of The Highlanders.

A Z (Home Service Force) Company was formed in 1984 at Perth, Kirkcaldy and Dundee. A number of re-organizations and company re-locations also occurred in the 1980s. Between 1992-1993, the remaining 1st Battalion, the 51st Highland Volunteers were again reorganised:

  • HQ Company at Perth
  • A Company at Dundee
  • B Company at Forfar
  • K Company at Kirkcaldy

The remaining 1st Battalion was subsequently redesignated in 1994 as the 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion, The The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment). During this period, all three Battalions adopted the Cap Badges and insignia of their parent Regiments.

[edit] 1999 onwards

The regiment was re-formed in 1999 by the amalgamation of all three of the battalions, 7/8 Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 3 The Highlanders, and 3 Black Watch into a single battalion, in consequence of the reforms of the Territorial Army in the Strategic Defence Review. As part of the Delivering Security in a Changing World review of the British Army, the 51st Highland Regiment became the 7th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland, also known as (7 SCOTS) which was formed on 28 March 2006. The TA military band of 51st (Scottish) Brigade is administered by the Battalion, as well as the units own 51st Highland Pipes and Drums.

The Battalion Headquarters is based at Queen's Barracks in Perth and the battalion has one support company with four rifle companies:
