Dress Regulations for the Royal Regiment of Scotland

[Miller6582]

Going by the posts there are a fair few of the rabble either ex-forces or have had family that have served. I thought these current regulations might be worth a gander for those interested. (If this has been posted in the wrong section, please shift it to the correct one).

Very interesting for those of us without experience regarding the regiment. Thank you for posting it.

There is a "military history & heritage" forum here that I suppose would be more appropriate than "general kilt talk". In the end it doesn't seem to matter what forum. True that this is the forum most people see AFAIK.

It's quite amazing just how many different orders of dress there are, there have long been, in the Highland battalions.

Several orders of dress have a kilt version and a trews or trousers version, or both.

And there are orders that have two (or more) kilt versions, one with plain brogues, selfcoloured hose, and leather sporrans and another version with spats, diced hosetops, and long hair sporran.

There are stone shirts, pale blue shirts, and sage green shirts in otherwise similar dress. It boggles the mind.

Here's a thread I did recently on the RRS piper's uniforms, made more complicated due to the retention of Antecedent Dress and because solo pipers, solo drummers, and the entire pipes & drums often compete at Highland Games and usually wear a mix of military and civilian kit there.

For those of the rabble on the piping end go to: https://www.theroyalregimentofscotla...egs-Part-2.pdf

and to part two of the RROS dress regulations that deals with pipe bands and regular military bands all 111 pages of it. Who'd thought the RROS has an OC in

it.

It's difficult to see on my phone, but it looks like all the photos use the same model wearing a kilt with military box pleats. Didn't they switch over to knife pleats?

Here are a few photos of female equivalent dress. One is a civilian honorary Colonel for a cadet unit and the group are a UOTC from Aberdeen University. Female's in the Pipe Bands for Scottish UOTC where the same dress as the males, sporran and all. As to paying for uniforms, they majority of dress uniforms are issued as needed, officers get a grant for some of the non standard issue kit.

That's Lorraine Kelly is it not....? Was surprised so did some digging. Been Hon Col for Black Watch Cadets since 2009! Good for her. Every day is a school day, as they say...

Aye, it is. Don't think she is well known outside of the UK so I didn't bother naming here in the post.
