The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards marked their return to Scotland with two homecoming parades. This one in Glasgow, followed by one in Edinburgh on 4 April.

Here the parade is accompanied by the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.

The salute was taken by the Lord Provost of Glasgow, Sadie Docherty, and the parade was followed by a reception in the City Chambers. The regiment will return to Fallingbostel in Germany, but will move to RAF Leuchars in 2015 as a Light Cavalry Regiment.

    While visiting from the US, I spent some time in London talking with a former Royal Scots Dragoon. We learned we shared the same opinion on many things and when we parted he gave me a hug. One of my proudest moments! Sharing a moment of male bonding with a Royal Scots Dragoon! I am former USAF.
  • my heart stayed in the kingdom forever. I am a former soldier of Scottish dragoons, as the only Pole I deserved there.

    I worked for a year next to these guys' barracks in Bergen Hohne. Sad to see them go, but fantastic to see them being welcomed home like this. Much respect from Germany.
  • Even as an American, when I hear Scotland the brave, it gives me chills every time during any march

    My roommate at the New Kabul Compound in Kabul was a Royal Signals officer - his father-in-law passed unexpectedly and he was given an immediate emergency leave to return to England - he was picked up about 9pm by a detachment of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards who took him to Kabul International Airport to start the trip home. They were as competent and professional a group of men as I have met in over 30 years with the US Army.
  • You can’t beat the look and sound of the guards bands and soldiers, I could stand there all day and watch and listen to them march by

    As an Australian I love that fine men and women do their job to protect me and my family with costs to their own family. All I can say is I'm sorry for the fallen and those families that have to endure it. From me Gary Martin I remember. Lest We Forget

    In another video someone commented on how the bass drummer never takes a break until the parade is over. Now I'm noticing it in every video. Hats off to bass drummers everywhere!
  • This is just amazing. Absolutely loved it. With all the respect from Germany!!
  • @petermartin2385
    The white bearskin the bass drummer wears is in recognition of the the fact that the Royal Scots Greys were amalgamated with the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. The white bearskin was presented to the Royal Scots Greys by the Czar of Russia.
  • As an Australian, How very proud I am of my Scots and English ancestors and to all whom serve in defence forces God Bless you allxxx
  • We in Aussie are proud of you fellas. Stay strong and march proud .... you have all earned it mate

    I'm an American and US Army veteran. I I have never seen American soldiers march with such precision. The Scottish army marches with dignity, grace, dedication, and honor
