Old Photograph Seaforth Highlanders Pipe Band Camp Burghead Scotland

Old photograph of the Seaforth Highlanders Pipe Band marching out from their camp near Burghead located eight miles North West of Elgin, Moray, Scotland. The Seaforth Highlanders was a historic line infantry regiment of the British Army, mainly associated with large areas of the northern Highlands of Scotland. The regiment existed from 1881 to 1961, and saw service in World War I and World War II, along with many numerous smaller conflicts. In 1961 the regiment was amalgamated with the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders to form the Queen's Own Highlanders, Seaforth and Camerons, which merged, in 1994, with the Gordon Highlanders to form the Highlanders, Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons. This, however, later joined the Royal Scots Borderers, the Black Watch, the Royal Highland Fusiliers, Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment, and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders to create the present Royal Regiment of Scotland.
