The inscription on the stone

On the 28th March 2006.  375 years to day since King Charles I signed the warrant to raise the regiment.  The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment) merged with the other surviving Scottish infantry regiments to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland.  Our unbroken history and service to sovereign and country lives on in the 1st battalion of the new regiment.
