As they stand tall and resolute along Constitution Hill in London, their striking attire commands attention. Dressed in their traditional Highland Kilt and Plaid, Scarlet Tunic, and Towering Busby hats adorned with feathers, these soldiers exude an air of picturesque elegance. Their vibrant tartan kilts pay homage to their Scottish heritage while symbolizing unity within the regiment. The backdrop of Wellington Arch adds a touch of grandeur to this scene. Raised in 1796 by the Marquis of Huntly, The Gordon Highlanders boast a remarkable history filled with noble service and distinguished achievements across numerous campaigns.
