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.

The bass drummers of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards wear them, they were given to them by Tsar Nicholas in 1894, on him becoming the Colonel in Chief of what was then the Royal Scots Greys, who formed together with the 3rd Carabiniers (Prince of Wales' Dragoon Guards) to form the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
THE ROYAL SCOTS (THE ROYAL REGIMENT)(1ST OF FOOT) The Royal Scots is the oldest Regiment of the Line in the British Army. As part of the BEF, the 1st Battalion Royal Scots suffered heavy casualties covering the retreat to Dunkirk, and many were taken prisoner. Mr Brown is correct, John Hepburns Regt.formed in 1625,later called the Royal Scots, Royal Regt. of Foot in 1633,was serving in France and Belgium, and at Dunkirk. But the questioner asked about the Scots Guards. The Marquis of Argyll's Royal Regt.1642 was disbanded and later re-formed as the Scots Regt. of Foot Guards in 1660,(also known as the Kings Regt.) in 1940 the 1st.Batt.was in Norway,then Tunisia and Italy. 2nd. Batt.were in Egypt, then Libya,Syria and N.W.Europe. 3rd.Batt.(armoured) were in U.K.'til 1944 then N.W.Europe,they converted back to infantry role in 1945. 4th. Batt.was a holding Batt. in U.K. 1940-43. So I would think that the Regt. did not serve at Dunkirk. My father won the military medal in the retreat from Holland, as I understand some of the Scots Guards may have retreated into Belgium then France and therefore would have been evacuated from Dunkirk

The crown on the cap badge of the King's Own Royal Border Regiment symbolizes the regiment's connection to the British monarchy and its royal heritage. The regiment was formed in 1959 through the amalgamation of two historic regiments, the King's Own Royal Regiment and the Border Regiment, both of which have roots dating back to the 17th century. The crown represents the regiment's loyalty and service to the Crown, reflecting the traditions and honors associated with the British Army. Over time, the badge has evolved, but the crown remains a significant emblem of the regiment's identity and history.
