		Some authorities have suggested that the name came originally from the grey coats worn during the first few years of the regiment's existence, but this is not the case since their grey coats were not unique and there is no instance of the name being used until after the known introduction of the grey horses.
		The Scots Greys, however, as Dragoons, had 'hautbois' - an extremely loud ancestor of the modern oboe - and infantry pattern side drums which, when mounted, were carried on the saddle in front of the left knee.
