The High Street drill hall was a military installation in Dunkeld.
The building was created by the conversion of an early Victorian house for use as the headquarters of the Scottish Horse in around 1900. [1] The regiment was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before deployed to Gallipoli. [2] In 1940, during the Second World War, the Scottish Horse Regiment was split to become the 79th (The Scottish Horse) Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery and the 80th (The Scottish Horse) Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery. [3] In 1947, the Scottish Horse rejoined the Territorial Army list with its HQ back at Dunkeld. In 1956, an amalgamation was announced with the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry and, on 31 October 1956, the Scottish Horse became part of a new regiment known as the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse with its headquarters at Yeomanry House in Cupar. [3] The drill hall in Dunkeld continues to be used as training centre. [1]
A Scottish regiment is any regiment that at some time in its history has or had a name that referred to Scotland or some part, thereof, and adopted items of Scottish dress. These regiments were and are usually a product of the British Empire, either directly serving the United Kingdom, serving as colonial troops, or later as part of Commonwealth country military establishments. Their "Scottishness" is no longer necessarily due to recruitment in Scotland nor any proportion of members of Scottish ancestry. Traditionally, Scottish regiments cultivate a reputation of exceptional fierceness in combat and are often given romantic portrayals in popular media. Within Scotland, itself, regiments of the Scottish Lowlands did not adopt as distinctively "Scottish" uniforms until the late Victorian Era and even then the kilt, that most distinctive aspect of the Highland soldier, was not adopted wholesale.
