    My great grandfather ran away to join the British Navy in WWI. He was 16 but looked 18 so they asked no questions. He served until the end of the war. His name was Jock.

    The 42nd Regiment of Foot now known as the 3rd Battalion, Royal Scots (3SCOTS) are one of the most noble and best men that have ever existed.

    Love these funny tunes. I was just in Gretna Green with my nephew and there is a SAS soldier buried in Langholm cemetery, along with a few men who were killed in WW1.

    With Scottish heritage I appreciate this song and it makes me laugh because I have always been the biggest guy in the room in most situations. There’s been a lot of fights end as soon as I walked into the room because they didn’t want to fight the big man. So I just giggle every time I listen to this song. 😂

      Did you know that the Black Watch was the regiment that scaled the cliffs to suprise the French forces under Montcalm that resulted in Wolf's victory on the Pl a ins of Abraham. Canada became a British colony that day.

    As an Englishman I would say out of all the regiments that have been, the Forty-Twa will always be the Regiment I admire the most. If I was back in the 19th century with old nosey and was a young ambitious officer, I would seek out to join the Forty-Twa but pursue to one day command it, as no honour is greater than that surely? or I would happily die wearing the kilt, the latter more likely. I love this song it has been stuck in my brain for days blessed be; as no finer tune could occupy my head space. Thanks again Pat, another addition to my total war playlist when I am giving the French a damn good licking with my Scots haha

      There were actually many English and Irishmen in the Highland regiments from the Napoleonic Wars onwards due to lack of men in their recruiting districts. They were called “Whitechapel Highlanders”. For a time in 1887 the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders were almost amalgamated into the Scots Guards due to lack of recruits.

      The original lyrics of the song don't reference the Loch Ness monster - the verse is "The Captain then tae me came roun' He looked me up and looked me doon, And shouts "Here sergeant, why, you scamp, You've found a lamp-post out on tramp" in the original 1901 version.
      Talk about a Loch Ness monster only began in the 1930's - older references to it are bogus.
