[2] 225 Squadron was formed in 1969, 251 Squadron in 1971 and 225 Squadron in 1992. [2] 527 Squadron, 230 Squadron and 231 Squadron and 251 Squadron were added on amalgamation with 153 (Highland) Transport Regiment to form the Scottish Transport Regiment in 1993. [3] 231 Squadron was subsequently disbanded. [3] It became 154 (Scottish) Regiment RLC under the Army 2020 reforms [4] and an extra squadron, 239 Squadron, was formed in 2016. [5]

Uniform

The regiment wears the Tactical Recognition Flash of the Royal Logistic Corps. [7]

The tartan of the regiment is a version (designated "Government No. 16") of the main MacDuff tartan, but with a smaller green area, worn by unit's pipers and drummers; in regular uniform, it is only used for the diamond-shaped cockade backing the badge on the uniform cap. [8] A tartan was created in 2018 (approved in 2020) in honour of the Royal Logistic Corps, [9] but this is for civilian use and is a fundraiser for the RLC's MOD Benevolent fund; it is not used for regimental uniform.
