Each of the seven battalions of the Regiment received copies of the scroll.Saturday, 10 March 2012, 6:00From: HQ 51 (SCOTTISH) BRIGADE - STIRLINGRegimental spokesman Major James Anderson can be contacted on 07795 060747 for interviews.THE ROYAL REGIMENT OF SCOTLAND RECIVES FREEDOM OF THE CITY FROM STIRLINGToday [Saturday 10 March] the Royal Regiment of Scotland marched from Stirling Castle to Stirling Council’s Old Viewforth as part of their ‘Freedom of the City Parade’.The Regiment was awarded the civic honour in recognition of their services and strong links to the Stirling area and are now entitled to enter Stirling‘with drums beating, Colours flying, and bayonets fixed’.Awarding the‘Freedom of the city’ is an age-old tradition dating back to the laws of ancient Rome that made it a capital offence for Roman legions to enter the city in formation or with weapons without permission.It was meant to ensure that ambitious generals did not mount a military coup against the Senate.The parade began at Stirling Castle at 11 am led by a combined military and pipe band.Gillian MacDonald, Executive Manager for Stirling Castle said:“We were proud to support this historic accolade for the servicemen and women of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, many of whom have close links to the area, by starting the parade at the castle.“It was fantastic to see so many people come out to view the parade. It was a great day for Stirling and all those associated with the Armed Forces.”The parade then marched down to the Albert Halls and thereafter to Old Viewforth.Spokesman for the Royal Regiment of Scotland, Major James Anderson explained:“The soldiers on parade, and the Colours flying, are from the 7th battalion, a Territorial Army battalion based across the north of Scotland including Stirling.“This is the first time that any of the new Royal Regiment of Scotland Colours have been paraded since they were presented by HM Queen at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in July 2011.“The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, one of the antecedent Regiments that were merged to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland on 28 March 2006 still have their Home Headquarters in Stirling Castle and were given the freedom of the city in 1947.Major Anderson continued:“It is a great honour to participate in this parade that reaffirms the traditional links between Stirling and Scotland’s infantry. This is particularly important at a time when many of our soldiers remain deployed on operations in Afghanistan and the drive to recruit more soldiers into excitingcareers in the Territorial Army is gathering pace.He concluded:“I would like to thank the people of Stirling for their heartfelt welcome and positive support which has made it a hugely memorable day for all of the soldiers marching.”Provost Fergus Wood commented:“It was great day for the people of Stirling to come out and cheer on the Royal Regiment of Scotland, kitted out in their full regalia and marching through our historic city.“We are very proud that Stirling bestowed this accolade on a Regiment of such high esteem and with strong links to the area.”The Royal Regiment of Scotland is the senior Scottish line infantry Regiment of the British Army. It consists of five regular and two territorial battalions.ENDSNOTES TO EDITORSRegimental spokesman Major James Anderson can be contacted on 07795 060747 for interviews.The Royal Regiment of Scotland is fiercely proud of its heritage. Scotland has a tradition of producing courageous, resilient, tenacious, and tough Infantry soldiers.The five Regular and two Territorial Army battalions of the Regiment offer a variety of locations and challenging roles with an exciting career for any young man.The Regiment's battalions are based in Inverness, Edinburgh, Penicuik, Glasgow, Perth, Canterbury, and Germany and retain strong links with their traditional recruiting areas.Bill JamiesonArmy G3 Media and Communication07900 60791910 March 2012
