Brief Regimental History -

The Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons) was an infantry regiment, part of the Scottish Division. The regiment was the only one in the British Army with a Gaelic motto - Cuidich 'n Righ which means "Aid the King".

The regiment was formed September 17, 1994, as part of the Options for Change defence review, by the amalgamation of the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons) and The Gordon Highlanders.

In 2004, as part of the restructuring of the infantry, it was announced that The Highlanders would be amalgamated with the other Scottish infantry regiments into the single large Royal Regiment of Scotland. The amalgamation took place on 28 March, 2006. As with the other Scottish regiments, the Highlanders were permitted to retain their former name as the new battalion's primary title, with the battalion number as a subtitle. Therefore, the new battalion is named The Highlanders (4th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland). The current battalion is based in Fallingbostel, British Forces Germany, part of 7 Armoured Brigade, the descendants of World War II's Desert Rats, equipped with the Warrior Infantry Vehicle.

The regiment wore the Gordon tartan when in kilts and the Seaforth Mackenzie when in trews. The pipers and drummers continue to wear the regimental cap badge and kilts in the Cameron of Erracht tartan. The battalion primarily recruits from across the Northwest Highlands and from the traditional Gordon heartlands in Moray, Aberdeenshire and Angus. The Battalion Headquarters is located at Cameron Barracks in Inverness.

The regiment's name is also continued by the Army shinty team, The Highlanders. Due to the 4th Battalion's regular placements abroad, the team only plays in cup matches.
