	The New Scottish Regiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Scots Guards were raised in 1639 by the Duke of Argyle, to support the Monarch, but they date their formation date in 1642 to support by Charles I. The regiment was disbanded for nine years in 1651, but it was reformed in 1660 upon the restoration of the Monarchy.
		Therefore, the Scots Guards, predate the first two regiments of Foot Guards, but were not (re) established as the Scots Guards, until 1651, and thus were preempted by the Grenadier and the Coldstream Guards, in seniority.
		Each of the Scottish Regiments as well as the Scots Guards have a history of tunes that are particular to their regiment, as well as common and shared tunes There will be a great deal of pressure on the Pipe Major to retain the individual regiment tunes and incorporate them into the new regiment.

	The Royal Scots
		Once when the Royals were serving in France, a controversy broke out between the officers of the two regiments as to the antiquity of their respective corps, when a proud Picard, treating with contumely the superior claims of the Scots, scornfully advised them to end the matter at once by calling themselves "Pontius Pilate's Guard".
		The royal clemency was exercised all the more readily, as the new king had repeatedly, in private, expressed his admiration of the steadfast loyalty and attachment evinced by the officers and men of the Royals to their former sovereign.
		The Scots Greys were mainly instrumental in preventing their escape, and the Scots Royals helped to take possession of the sheep which their mounted countrymen had driven into a corner.
