In 1871 the Queen's daughter, HRH Princess Louise, married the Marquess of Lorne, (later 9th Duke of Argyll) and at the wedding, the 91st provided the Guard of Honour. A year later in 1872 Princess Louise was appointed Colonel-in-Chief and the 91st became 'Princess Louise's Argyllshire Highlanders'.

With the amalgamation of the Argyll and Sutherland regiments in 1881, the Princess Louise title stayed with the regiment.  Her coronet and cipher and the Argyll Boar's Head and motto of 'Ne Obliviscaris' added to the regimental insignia which today is still part of the cap badge, worn on a backing of tartan cloth on the tam o’shanter and plain on the Glengarry.

Stirling Castle, Royal Palace of the Stuart Kings, has been the home depot of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders since 1881.  It is here that recruits come to join the regiment and receive their training. It is at Stirling Castle that the regiment’s colours, trophies and most storied relics are preserved and on display

In the history of the regiment, 16 officers and other ranks have been awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain’s most distinguished honor for duty above and beyond that of a British soldier.  Two of those awards were for service in World War II.

 The dicing of the Glengarry has traditionally been red and white.  That strip of red and white dicing was adopted as the “regimental flash” and worn on the sleeve of the battle dress jacket. 

The 2^nd Battalion, A&S was assigned to serve in the 227th Infantry Brigade of the 15th Scottish Division, VIII Corps, 2nd Army, 21st Army Group.  

Along with the dicing, the regiment wore the Division insignia, the rampant lion of Scotland, in the traditional colors of the Scots- red and yellow.  It was encircled in the letter O, which is the 15^th letter of the alphabet. 

The 227th Brigade included the Highland Light Infantry, the Gordon Highlanders and the Argylls. As the “junior” brigade, within the Division, the 227^th Brigade wore three red arm of service stripes.

The 15th Scottish Division served throughout Europe, landing in France on 14 June, 1944, engaged in some of the fiercest fighting, from the Normandy breakout to the crossing of the Rhine..

The Argyll & Sutherland Colours are decorated with many battle honors. Among them the Cape of Good Hope, Peninsular, South Africa, Alma, Balaklava, Lucknow and during WWII, such engagements as the Rhine, Sidi Barrani, El Alamein, Longstop Hill, Italy, Crete, and Malaya.
