Tips

Michèle Linton-Sinclair

December 12, 2023

THE proud memory of a now vanished Highland regiment has been commemorated with a stunning monument in Fochabers which can be seen from the A96.

Designed by Jason Sweeney, the stainless steel sculpture is based on the cap badge of The Highlanders Regiment (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons), which had a stag’s head, thistle and crown.

The regiment was formed on September 17, 1994 through an amalgamation of the Queen's Own Highlanders and the Gordon Highlanders.

One of only two regiments in the British Army to boast a Gaelic motto – Cuidich 'n Righ or Help the King – it was to serve honourably until it was amalgamated with other regiments to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland on March 28, 2006.
