dag Posted October 23, 2018 #1 Posted October 23, 2018 My display of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, the RROS badge in the middle surrounded by the badges of the individual regiments that merged forming the RROS in 2006. Side note: the three RROS patches in the corners plus the blue feather hackle of the 4th Battalion RROS (bottom left) were gifted to me by the Royal Regiment of Scotland Museum for a donation I made of a theater-made patch for the RROS (made in Afghanistan). I love those four items, look great with these badges.

dag Posted October 24, 2018 Author #4 Posted October 24, 2018 This shows the lineage of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, i.e. the individual regiments that merged to form the brigade of the RROS.
dag Posted January 29, 2019 Author #5 Posted January 29, 2019 Have updated my Royal Regiment of Scotland display.
dag Posted January 29, 2019 Author #6 Posted January 29, 2019 I didn't like the printed paper label I had for the display, changed to an engraved metal label with "ROYAL REGIMENT OF SCOTLAND". This is actually a British style dog tag. Found a company in Canada that engraves these to order.
dag Posted April 23, 2019 Author #7 Posted April 23, 2019 Have added a few patches to my collection of Royal Regiment of Scotland. I've seen these referred to as morale patches. One for each of the current active duty battalions. And each has a picture showing the color of the battalion hackle.
stratasfan Posted April 24, 2019 #8 Posted April 24, 2019 Love your display of the items! Super nice! Also, I love the image in your second post that has the overlay of the ID for each item. Super cool idea! That center piece of the insignia on the balck bow is gorgeous! Where would that be/have been worn, out of curiosity? Also . . . super cool idea about that dog tag! I'm going to have to keep that in mind for future displays!
dag Posted April 24, 2019 Author #9 Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks for the comments. The Royal Regiment of Scotland (center) badge is mounted on what I have seen referred to as a "Rosette". And these would be on the side of a Glengarry cap like the one shown (another part of my collection, just a different badge, one for the "Black Watch" dating to about World War II). Some times the cap is all black, or other colors for various regiments. The "dicing" (the black/red/white checkered pattern), is very Scottish, on lots of their caps.
stratasfan Posted April 24, 2019 #10 Posted April 24, 2019 OH, thanks! Now that is a cool hat! I'd wear that myself in the Winter! That would be a cool thing to make for a doll.
