Script.

The Regimental Museum of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders details their eventful history from 1794 to the present.

Its wonderful artefacts, ranging from:

  • the magnificent regimental silverware to
  • flasks bearing bullet-holes,
  • from medals for heroism
  • to poignant letters home,

bear eloquent testimony to the Argylls' glorious history, and show why the regiment evokes such pride in the town.

Their connection with Stirling is as alive today as it has ever been.

Since 1881, Stirling Castle has been the "home" of the legendary Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a regiment with an illustrious history of heroism and selfless dedication from the time of the Napoleonic Wars.

The regiment is fiercely proud of its links with Stirling, as the town is of its own regiment. Many of the almost 7,000 officers and men who laid down their lives for their country in the Great War were "Sons of the Rock".

Since the Second World War the regiment has seen more active service than any other Scottish regiment, further enhancing its unsurpassed reputation for professionalism, whether in combat or in support of a civil power.
