What is the oldest guards regiment in the world?
The oldest, continuously formed, active army unit in the world and the oldest infantry regiment in the British Army was formed in 1633 by King Charles I as the sovereign recruited men from Edinburgh to fight in France. They won their first battle honour in Tangiers in 1680 and their first Victoria Cross at the Siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean War. The Battle of Culloden in 1746 was the last time the regiment fought on British soil. Members of The Royal Scots Guards have won seven Victoria Crosses - six during the First World War when The Royal Scots lost 11,162 men. The regiment's motto, "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" ("no-one dares me with impunity") is now the motto of the new Royal Regiment of Scotland.

How did World War 2 affect Scottish people?
The Scots were affected the same way the Brits were affected by World War 2. The Scots were ruled by the Brits in the 1940s. They had food and product rationing, women worked in war plants and took in evacuees, and they did war work as nurses, clerks, and military personnel. Edinburgh and other coastal areas were bombed just as British cities and English Channel coastal areas were damaged by the bombs. In the mountain areas of Scotland the rural communities took in a large number of British children during the evacuation. The children were exposed to the culture of the Scots. For some of them it was the first time the children had ever heard the Gaelic sound and accent. They learned of many colorful ways the Scots had held for centuries. The Scots sent their men to fight too so they too suffered the losses of their family members. (See the Highlanders in our reference library if you want to know about them.) They did as much as they could to contribute to the war effort despite the loss of men and the men who were injured. As they say over there: Up the Scottish! It was like saying Go Scots!
