The Gordons were recruited from the north-east of Scotland, the
regiment's character being moulded by men from the farming
counties of Aberdeenshire, Moray and Nairn. The regiment was
raised in 1794 by the Duke of Gordon, as the 100th Highlanders. It
was later renumbered the 92nd Highlanders and in 1881 was
amalgamated with the 75th (Stirlingshire) Regiment to form The
Gordons. The two regiments saw constant service throughout the
empire including Afghanistan, the Crimea, India, The Boer War and
both World Wars. In 1994 The Gordon Highlanders amalgamated with
Queen's Own Highlanders and in 2006 became the 4th Battalion of
The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
