The Lorne Scots’ ceremonial dress is a testament to their rich history and unique traditions, showcasing elements that set them apart from other regiments. Here are some of the distinct features that make their uniform so special:
🏴 Tartan: The Lorne Scots proudly wear the Ancient Campbell Tartan, a symbol of their connection to Clan Campbell since 1879, when His Excellency the Marquis of Lorne granted them the honour during his review of the 20th Halton Rifles.
🐗 Collar Dogs: The Regiment’s collar insignia features a Boar’s Head, adopted in the 1930s with permission from the Duke of Argyll, The Chief of the Clan Campbell. This crest remains a defining symbol of the Lorne Scots to this day.
🐴 Sporran: Their traditional sporran, made from white horsehair with two black tassels, bears the Galley of Lorne, a nod to the hereditary title of the Duke of Argyll as “Admiral of the Western Coasts and Isles.
Primrose Hackle: A gift from the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1966 as a mark of honour and respect for their allied regiment. This feathered adornment is worn with pride by all qualified infanteers and bandsmen.
The cap badge: the regiment had received permission from Sir Robert Peel (after whose family the county had been named) to use part of his crest as a regimental badge. The crest is 'a demi-lion rampant, gorged and collared, charged with three bezants, between the paws a shuttle'
Emblem of Coat of Arms of the Marquess of Lorne. John Campbell, The Marquess of Lorne, Duke of Argyll and Canada's 4th Governor General gave the Lorne Scots, permission to use his title in their name.
Each detail in the Lorne Scots’ ceremonial uniform is a symbol of the Regiment’s deep history, their enduring traditions, and their close ties to Clan Campbell and the British Fusilier regiments.
