Our Collection
A selection of our objects is on display in our Museum in Edinburgh Castle, with many more held in storage as we work towards a larger exhibition space in the coming years. In addition to those on display in our Museum, SCOTS items can be viewed in some of the antecedent regimental museums across Scotland and the north of England. From time to time our objects form part of larger displays and exhibitions in Scotland and further afield.
From uniform, equipment and weapons to documents, artwork and insignia, our Museum cares for a varied collection of almost 1000 items relating to The SCOTS.
WHAT DO WE COLLECT?
We collect material that represents the full range of activities the Regiment has participated in since its formation on 28 March 2006. These items can relate to operational deployments, training and exercise, sporting events, ceremonial occasions and even just everyday life within the Regiment. Our aim is to capture the personal story attached to each item, no matter how big or small.
Do you have something you would like to donate, but not sure if we’d be interested? Please get in touch with the Curator to discuss it further using the ‘Contact Us’ tab.
ANTECEDENT MUSEUM COLLECTIONS
All collections and archive material before March 2006 are still held by each antecedent regimental museum. They are based across Scotland and the north of England.
The Museum supports the 51st Highland Division website on behalf of the 51st Division and Ross Bequest Trust, following the dissolution of the Trust in 2017. The website content is managed through their historian, Brigadier Charles Grant.
