The Scots Guards (SG) is one of the five Foot Guards regiments of the British Army.
Its origins are as the personal bodyguard of King Charles I of England and Scotland.
Its lineage can be traced back to 1642 in the Kingdom of Scotland, although it was only placed on the English Establishment in 1686.
The regiment known today as the Scots Guards was formed in 1662 by merging these independent Scottish companies.
In 1831, following the accession of King William IV, the regiment was renamed the Scots Fusilier Guards.
1877 the regiment was renamed the Scots Guards.
In 1993, 2nd Battalion was turned into the ceremonial âFâ Company, which continues to guard royal residences such as Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.
The motto on this badge reads 'Nemo Me Impune Lacessit', which means 'No One Assails Me with Impunity'. The Scots Guards are third in the Guards order of precedence.
Although they trace their origins back to 1642, they did not formally join the British Army establishment until 1661 after the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards.
