The Royal Scots are the oldest and therefore most senior infantry regiment of the line in the British Army, having been raised in 1633 during the reign of Charles I of England.
Trevor Royle has built up an outstanding reputation as a historian of war and empire. His recent books include The Civil War- The War of the Three Kingdoms 1638-1660, Patton- Old Blood and Guts and the ground-breaking Crimea- The Great Crimean War 1854-1856. He lives in Edinburgh.
"A marvellous biography of an illustrious Scottish regiment . . . a
book that will be enjoyed by general readers as well as the
military buff"
*Sunday Herald*
"Royle studs his compact narrative with the lively recollections of
men like Private Donald McBane and Private William Begbie"
*Glasgow Herald*
"To compress the story of that service, covering four centuries and
nearly all the major wars fought by the British Army during that
time, into a single, yet concise volume must have been a real
challenge. Trevor Royle, with a clarity of style for which he is
justifiably known, has more than met that challenge"
