Old Photograph Scots Guards Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of Scots Guards at a Military Camp outside Birnam, Perthshire, Scotland. The Scots Guards, part of the Guards Division, is one of the Foot Guards regiments of the British Army. Their origins lie in the personal bodyguard of King Charles I of England and Scotland. Its lineage can be traced back to 1642, although it was only placed on the English Establishment, thus becoming part of what is now the British Army, in 1686. The Regiment is the oldest formed Regiment in the Regular Army in service today.
