The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders - (Princess Louise's) was an infantry regiment of the British Army until amalgamation into The Royal Regiment of Scotland in 2006.
The regiment was created in 1881 as an amalgamation of the 91st and 93rd Regiments of Foot.
The regiment mobilized several battalions for the First and Second World Wars and sent an active battalion to serve in the Commonwealth Division in Korea.
The Regiment gained fame for the crisis in Aden in the post-war years.
After years of threats to its existence, during which it served in the Scottish Division of the peacetime army, it was announced in 2004 as part of the restructuring of the infantry that the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders would be amalgamated with the other Scottish infantry regiments into a single seven battalion strong Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The regiment's representation in the new regiment was downgraded further following a new round of defense cuts announced in July 2012, to a single public duties company.
