This legendary Scottish regiment has fought in numerous battles and campaigns around the world, earning a reputation for their fierce fighting spirit and unwavering loyalty. From the American Revolution to the Napoleonic Wars and beyond, the 42nd Regiment has always stood ready to defend king and country.
