Regimental Museums

The regiment now known as The Royal Regiment of Scotland were raised to help King Charles II fight the Covenanters - 17th-century religious dissenters. Their first battle was at Rullion Green in the Pentland Hills, near Edinburgh.

A French eagle and standard take pride of place in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Museum. The Scots Greys seized them from the 45th French infantry in 1815, during an epic charge at the Battle of Waterloo.

The Royal Scots Museum is located at the top of the hill just before Foog’s Gate. The Royal Regiment of Scotland Museum is directly opposite.

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guard Museum is located within the New Barracks.

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guard Museum will open at the later time of 10am on Monday 16 November, and 11am on Friday 4 December. The museum will also close at the earlier time of 12 noon on Friday 11 December.
