Page "51st Highland Volunteers" Paragraph 0

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, forming the 7th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, also known as 7 SCOTS.

In contrast with 52nd Lowland ( 6 SCOTS ), a similar unit located in the Lowlands of Scotland, 51st Highland ( 7 SCOTS ) consists of a number of infantry companies located throughout the 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.
