The Royal Regiment of Scotland

Not your average weekend.

This was 6 SCOTS’ final training before their Annual Deployment Exercise (ADE), a continuous two-week training period conducted in the UK or abroad. The ADE is a vital part of a reservists’ commitment, allowing them to sharpen battlefield skills, learn conventional and urban tactics, and gain experience with various weapon systems.

Over the weekend, the Jocks honed their navigation skills by day and night, offensive actions, and patrolling culminating in a section attack to close out the training.

Urban training puts soldiers in the heart of the action.

The Jocks recently completed training at Tulliallan Police College navigating tight streets, clearing buildings, and working as a team to complete tough missions.

From breaching doors to spotting threats in crowded areas, it’s all about quick thinking, sharp skills, and staying one step ahead.

2 SCOTS celebrated Assaye Day this Sunday surrounded by friends and family with a ceremonial parade, a battle reenactment, and a family fun day.

The day also recognised individual achievements, with Pony Major Cpl Stewart as one of the recipients of the Medal of Long Service and Good Conduct in recognition of his dedication and service.

Assaye Day commemorates the courage and sacrifice of those who fought at the Battle of Assaye on 23 September 1803. Major-General Arthur Wellesley led an outnumbered British force to a decisive victory over the Maratha army in Western India. The Assaye battle honour was awarded to all East India Company battalions and British Army regiments involved, including the 74th (Highland) Regiment of Foot. As descendants of the 74th Highlanders, 2 SCOTS remain the only British infantry regiment to carry this historic battle honour.

On Saturday, we celebrated our long-standing connection with Inverclyde and officially became the first to be granted the Freedom of Inverclyde.

We proudly paraded through Greenock, led by Major Morrison and joined by Band SCOTS, and 2 SCOTS Pipes, Drums, & Bugles. We were honoured to be presented with the Freedom Scroll by Provost Drew McKenzie.

Among those accepting this honour was Corporal McEntee from Gourock, Inverclyde, who paraded with 2 SCOTS Pipes, Drums & Bugles. Cpl McEntee said "I went to high school up the road [from Gourock Primary School] so I’m proud to march through the town with all my family watching.”

Did you guess correctly?

Last week’s ‘Where’s the Jocks?’ took us to Romania, where soldiers from The Royal Regiment of Scotland took part in Exercise Steadfast Dart 25 alongside NATO allies.

One of the activities saw troops participate in a multinational weapons handling day, providing the opportunity to learn more about allied equipment. Pictured here, a soldier from 4 SCOTS examines a Romanian PA md.86 assault r***e.
