- On 15 November 2013 the Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (2 Scots), took part in a homecoming parade in Glasgow. They marched from Holland Street to George Square in the city centre. The Battalion recently returned from a six month tour in Afghanistan.
The Scottish public were out in force to welcome more than 400 soldiers from the Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (2 Scots) who have just returned from Afghanistan.
The unit was deployed to Helmand Province in April this year and worked with the Afghan police to help improve their capability.
The soldiers were welcomed to the city by Lord Provost Sadie Docherty.
She said the homecoming parade marked the great association the Royal Highland Fusiliers have with the city.
Mrs Docherty added: "You can be assured you are held in the highest regard in Glasgow and across Scotland.
"The challenges you met on a daily basis are unimaginable to most of us who watched you march.
"You may be assured we are all proud and grateful to witness your safe return and you should all be proud of what you have achieved individually and collectively.
"We all, like you, fervently hope stability and peace will be established in Afghanistan.
"The people of Glasgow wish you all the very best for the future and hope it will not be as long before we see the battalion in the city once again."
Tragically, three soldiers from the battalion were killed and six injured when their vehicle was struck by an explosive device.
Lieutenant Colonel Robin Lindsay said: "Our thoughts have been and will continue to be with the families of the three soldiers who were killed on operations.
"Our role was to advise and liaise with the Afghan Uniformed Police.
"They were outstanding."

As a former 'White Hackle' we dont give a donald what colour the boy is, if hes born here, hes OUR coloured guy, if he serves with us, hes still OUR coloured guy. Should it ever come to it I will be bang in line with which ever jock what ever the colour.
We do Jocks in a fine range of colours youll notice, from classic west of Scotland pale white, through the more weathered englandshire hues and tones. To the" black as two in the morning" as its referred to in Glasgow with no malice afore thought.
The one single colour we do not have is yours.....Yellow!
Unless you’re Chinese…
Thanks Guy's, my son in law was in Bosnia, Iraq, and numerous other places, so from this Glaswegian I'm so proud of you.
i'm english but ... proud as punch!!! I love Scotland!!
Proud to be of Scottish descent ( both grand parents), as an Aussie and ex Royal Australian Engineer... Scotland is one place i would not hesitate to go into a scrap for.....any day!
Love it
Had a few Beers with boys of the R.H.F in Singapore in the 70's very young lads but a pleasure to drink with never stopped laughing the whole night . Never paid for a drink all night........................neither did they. Bravo Zulu from a Kiwi Sailor.
My mother was from Glasgow.She would have loved to have seen this. God bless her soul
This is the way soldiers should return home - like soldiers !! In the US where I live our Guardsmen leave and return on busses, waving out the windows like a football team. The old song says "When Johnny comes MARCHING Home..." Soldiers should march.
To all brittish people: I will never forget your fathers, dead on my ground during WWI, WW2... Vous meritez mon immense respect.
THE "Auld Alliance"
It doesn't get better than this. Thank you
More Americans of Scottish heritage have won the Congressional Medal of Honor than any other. Scottland para sempre.
My son toured Afghanistan in 2013 with 8/9 RAR, due to the government
not wanting to upset the Muslims ( then a labour gov ) their march in
parade was cancelled and a very very ordinary march in at Enoggera
barracks was substituted. I hope for the sake of future generations you
will never allow it to happen there.
Im reminded of Wellingtons reply to the comment on his scots/irish troops being so small, was that 'but they dont run away'....Nemo Me Impune Lacessit.
Possibly the smartest troops in the world...a credit to Scotland.
Jim, Thank you for sharing this video, these deserve all the best now, and in the future, and my heart and prayers go out to the soldier who died in the line of duty, to their families, as well as all soldiers of Scotland, Ireland & Great Britain as a whole. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
And you have a great thanksgiving too!
Thank you Jim
So nice to see all these wonderful soldiers. Thank you for your service.🏴🇨🇦❤️
watching this makes me feel proud to be Scottish...If we become Independent we will rely on regiments like this...I couldn't join the R.A.F. because my vision wasn't 20-20....but I represented Scotland in a different way, boxing,,,,I've won 3 golds 2 silvers and 8 bronze medals....I worked hard to get them....constant training and a good pep talk from my Dad always gave me an advantage over others...I always looked at It as Scotland v Germany,Canada,Australia,New Zealand,Greece,Italy,France and I have made good friends along the way...:)
I am appalled.
I was 33 years ago the first time for youth exchange in
Glasgow and then we were twin towns .. (I'm from Nuremberg/Germany).
Our friendship continues.
Greetings to my Scottish friends-
What can I say, I'm sad.
Axel
what you sad about mate? x
The female officer at about 1:13 is the sharpest female I have ever seen in the U.K. Armed Forces...
heros uk united. from london.
Something Unique about Scotland.
WELL DONE TO JIM FOR THIS VIDEO SO GOOD AND PROUD TO SEE MY SON AND ALL THE REST OF THE GUYS
I got the same sound holding a cat under my left arm and biting its tail
Seriously though when you are knackered on a route march and a piper starts up it picks you up and helps a lot
Thank You, Love to watch your videos, love the pipes & drums. Makes me wonder, what if my ancestors hadn't been kick out of Scotland and sent to the colonies back in 1760's ?
Glory to our Celtic brothers from Britanny, France
I am Welsh but have Scottish family. ❤
Had the great honour to be attached, back in the day, with the 71st from the 2 PPCLI....They treated me, always with great humour, like an ace...and made a point to tell me it was great to retrieve a long lost one, returned back to the Highland Home Flock... with Barrels of Famous Grouse in between.
Jim Ramsay, you are fucking brilliant!
I was at this parade I live in Edinburgh
"When The Battle Is Over", one of my favorite "Retreat" pipe tunes. Followed as it usually is by the "Green Hills of Tyrol". Too bad the audio is wonky.
Appeared to be chilly that day lads!
What a lovely sight.Well done guys.
Now that is a band !
MUY BONITO.GRACIAS
Skotští vojáci, skotské dudy a lidí v ní různé barvy pleti!!! Gratuluji a bravóóó´!!!
TO SE MI LÍBÍ!!!
Get out jogging Jim. Need to keep up with the bandsmen lol. Missed the best two tunes they played, just heard Scotland The Brave & Highland Laddie in the background. Get the kids placed is strategic parts with cameras as well lol. ;-)
Cheers, I was elsewhere, it was Peter wot videod this for my channel. Take note Pedro!
Does anyone know what those things are on their hats? I am a fan of Pipe and Drum music and have never seen them before.
They are called hackles they are made of feathers.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackle
The (sort of ) bearskinny looking things with bits (< technical term) hanging down are actually feather bonnets
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feather_bonnet
Why don't they all wear the kilts? Is it optional? Some of them seem to just wear pants/trousers instead and they wear a different hat as well. They're just walking among the kilt wearing fellows though..
You can see some at 3:35 for example.
Remember my time as an attached Medic over the years Canada, Belize, Belize, oh the fun.
Nothing spoils the visuals more than those ameture
Weekend photographers jumping about in front of the troops.
All the gear no idea
Are the RHF still in service? I know most of the old Scottish units are no longer with us, sadly.
yeah, but their official name is now Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2 SCOTS.
1 SCOTS - Royal Scots Borderers
2 SCOTS - RHF
3 SCOTS - Black Watch
4 SCOTS - Highlanders
5 SCOTS - Balaclava Company (16 Air Assault)
6 SCOTS - 52nd Lowland (Reserve)
7 SCOTS - 51st Highland (Reserve)
The female officer had the whole uniform but not the spats? Why is that? I believe in Canada the female members of the Highland regiments wear them.
Awesome parade too!
In Canada, they allow women to wear the kilt, but not in Scotland. It's a fucking shame that they let those cunts in at all!
When did RHF start wearing kilts ? Is this a 2Scots thing ? Wen I served it was mckenzie tartan trews.
Superbe,excellente musique.
What is the RSM actually saying when calling out the cadence? It doesn't sound english.
Nmm
A stylised 'left right' "eft ight", sounds more like 'aft ight' .
Actually a LOT easier to say (well it's sort of make a noise rather than speech) when you don't have to anunciate the letter at the begining.
Klasse
God bless you all
hmm again the front section of the parade has a reversed arm swing and step to all the men following, anyone know why please???
+Vinny Valante Well, the logical answer would be that they are out of step; they or the ones marching behind them.
FFFFFFF Yeah but thats the thing.. you REALLY think so? I dont! They wouldve trained for that over many afternoons! I wonder what the meaning in those steps are??
It's NOT reversed, if you look hard you will notice they are carrying something in their arms (a different arm to those behind0 so while those in front are swinging their left arms those behind are swinging their right.
This effect is perhaps easier to see when looking at the officers marching in front (with a sword) as compared to the troops behind
as at czcams.com/video/ueRQEpDda4c/video.htmlm28s (may well be a couple of seconds out but certainly around there)
Awesome.
Shame you couldn't lob a wireless microphone on the bandsmen as they pass lol.
WDZIAŁEM JAK TE JEDNOSTKI WKRACZAŁY SUPER
Fantastic!
Just wondering - are women allowed in the British infantry? Just that I can see a couple throughout the contingents. Can anyone clarify? Thanks in advance.
Yes
Thanks.
No you cant join the Infantry as a Woman. You can be attached through RAMC, RAVC, RE etc.
Not in any fighting roles. Only support.
They are now!
1:08 OK...
respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my enjoyment of this great video has rather spoiled by the disgraceful racist comments below, how can any Scot look at a man wearing this uniform with such pride and bearing and say such appalling things? I hope these young men (who have fought for THEIR country) never have to read this drivel and if they do I hope they are made of stinger stuff than me, its truly heartbreaking. Scotland the no so brave manning the keyboard below - shame on you, shame on you.
Indeed, it seems rife on my videos and is shameful! 100% agree
If this is Ramsay from 2 Scots, I recently bought your old plate carrier at a surplus
Jimmy Hopkins
Jeff Harris is it you
sensacional... emocionante
@ 2:25, this guy is trying to take a picture under their kilt but a copper swiftly moves him along
How disrespectful! Probably wants to see what b*lls look like, since he doesn't have any...
Why they not armed?
They have a new Regimental march now. ''Ah'm No A Weegie...A'hm fae Fiji.''
Can someone explain the significance of the small Shetland pony ?

I noticed there are quite a few black soldiers in the regiment that is good as we need more black and ethnic senior NCO'S and Officers 👍

Unusual to see females marching with a famous highland regiment. Set me thinking]g - How many females in the regiment, and how mani are operational?
I never understood why the highland regiments don't return to the highlands
nor do i
+kilbraur I suppose that so called "Highland Regiments" are only "Highland" in name these days. To all those whom that remark might offend, I am just saying that there can't be that many blacks living in the Highlands.
No but a lot of blacks traveling to the AFCO to join the regiment. That should be a thing to be proud of surely!
I'm old enough to remember the proper Scottish regiments, like the Gordons, the Black Watch, the Cameronians and the Seaforths. Now they have stuck in brass bands and political correctness.
A Highland regiment with token blacks, women, a donkey and even a few pensioners thrown in. What a shambles.
Why don't you tell that to that Scottish black soldier to his face?
***** How is that possible when I don't know who he is?
kilbraur That was an insult you idiot. That black soldier serves and fights for the Britain. You may not know his name but he serves you in his service. You talk about "token" black soldiers. Women serve in the American Army and Air Force. The "Shambles " you speak of is you.
He doesn't serve me, I am not British.
If I am an idiot simply because you don't agree with me, then you are also an idiot because I don't agree with you.
kilbraur
Gie it a rest you two!
WHOS THAT OOOTA STEPPPP

Why are some men wearing breeks and why are the women not wearing tartan kilts??!

👒
1:14 A female Highlander?? Never seen that before.
That's right cos there's no women north of the border eh, bawheid. Equals rights and all that mean females can now serve on frontline duties, christ even our queen served during ww2.
Their headdress looks sort of (American) Indian.

Colored scotsmen now ... I never saw a White masai in Kenia.
+guardiasvizzera1 No - but there was a white Zulu who fought against the British in the Zulu Wars His name was John Dunn, his family was originally from Aberdeen and he was orphaned at an early age and raised by a Zulu tribe He died in 1895 leaving 48 widows and 117 children His descendants (more than 6000 strong) still have rights to the lands given him by Zulu King Cetshwayo
+William Thomson John Dunn was indeed known as "The White Zulu", but when the Anglo-Zulu War broke out in January that year, Dunn joined the British side, but did his best to remain out of the fighting, as he had very divided feelings about the war.
He appears to have maintained satisfactory relations with both sides, however, as in the Ulundi Settlement that followed the cessation of hostilities, John Dunn was amongst those given rule over a sub-division of Zululand. Dunn's signal achievement was that he managed to be trusted by both sides.
Some months after the Battle of Ulundi - the final of the Anglo-Zulu War - the Zulu King Cetshwayo was captured by the British. As he walked into captivity, the british officer commanding the detachment that captured Cetshwayo ordered them to form and honour guard, and the British soldiers stood at the Present Arms as he passed.
In initially, King Cetshwayo was kept in quarters in Durban, but soon after he was moved to the Island of St Helena (where Napoleon had earlier lived out his final years in exile), before his cause was taken up and supported by a number of prominent people in Britain, amongst them Lady Florence Dixie, correspondent of the London Morning Post newspaper.
His release from exile was won, and Cetshwayo eventually sailed to England, where he adopted western dress and lived as a free man, becoming very popular in London society.
Eventually, Cetshwayo met with Queen Victoria in Osborne House in the Isle of Wight, and greatly impressed her. I'm afraid that I don't know the precise date, off-hand, though.
By 1882, the division of Zululand had unleashed blood feuds, and in-fighting amongst the minor chiefs of the various divisions who had replaced Cetshwayo's rule of the Zulu unified kingdom erupted into a number of military skirmishes.
Persuaded by Cetshwayo that he was the best person to restore order, Britain agreed to return Cetshwayo to Zululand, and in 1883 he arrived back in Durban.
With the aid of Boer forces, Chief uZibhebhu contested this move, and attacked Cetshwayo's kraal. Cetshwayo was wounded, but escaped to costal city of Eshowe in South Africa, where he lived under British protection. He died a few months later on 8 February 1884, either from a heart attack or poisoning - no-one is really sure.
John Dunn survived all this, dying on 5 August 1895, having married 48 wives and fathered 117 children.
+xetalq Yes i understood...But in substantia a white zulu is not a Zulu...Contra facta argumentum non valet
What argument? I did not indulge in any such argument in my post.
Notwithstanding, who says a white Zulu is not a Zulu? In substance or otherwise?
If the Zulus designate a man as such, then neither you nor I have substantive grounds for argument.
John Dunn was accepted by the Zulus as one of their Chieftains, and was appointed as such by Cetshwayo's father, Mpande kaSenzangakhona, and confirmed as such by Cetshwayo, in his turn.
And if you have not seen a white Maasai, then you need to get out more. My own uncle was a 1st Lieutenant in Her Majesty's Gordon Highlanders (the 92nd Regiment of Foot), and served in Kenya with the King's African Rifles for three years (1952 -1955) fighting the Mau Mau (and earning the MC).
The Mau Mau Uprising was essentially Kikuyu-led, with the Maasai and most Kikuyu not choosing to join. The urge to independence was strong nonetheless, but even so, few white men have been accepted as Maasai tribesmen, although the honour is rare and very difficult to earn, and hardly ever bestowed.
Parum cognita est periculosum.
+xetalq Blood and water are the same for you?

I think Mr Watson made a stupid remark...
i like thae pipes not the amy
Despite their name...the RHF were...latterly NOT a 'Highland Regiment.' As the continental wars sapped manpower...the Highland Light Infantry moved south away from the 'Highland' areas of Inverness and Moray where they were constituted and recruited...and moved to Glasgow where they got more recruits. The Royal Scots Fusiliers never wore kilts...and when the HLI and RSF amalgamated they were given the erroneous title 'Royal Highland Fusiliers'...and wore Trews and not kilts!! They were then constituted into the then Lowland Division. This RHF (2 Scots) mularky is living proof that history, heritage and...above all..tradition count for fuck all. This circus is now largely staffed by non Scots...and they wear kilts. To add more 'Visit Scotland' Touristy type panto...they drafted in 'Cruachan'...that Campbell Goat...who was previously owned by the 'Campbells'...The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Their loyalty got them decimated by their own Government to little more than a Company strength...and relegated to a kind of Group4/Visit Scotland job of guarding all the royal houses and castles in Scotland. You couldn't make this shit up in a quality comedy sketch...could you?
You see a female at a high rank, don't even bat an eye at her =)

Wat. Women, really?

Yes in Scotland women are treated as people.
It makes me sick to see non-Scots representing Scotland
