    The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
    The Scots Guards
    The Royal Scots
    The Kings Own Scottish Borderers
    The Black Watch

    and The Queens Own Cameron Highlanders (1943-1961)

    And I wonder what Wiki means by "a select few civilian groups". Royal Stewart used to be perhaps the most popular tartans worn by civilian pipe bands the world over.
    Aye, perhaps not the best source. Sorry about that. Of course as subjects of her majesty anyone in the Commonwealth has the right to wear the Royal Stewart.
