Our Scottish links: Did you know?

This is a month of Remembrance of our military Veterans in Canada. It is also the 100 th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). As part of their celebrations throughout 2024, the RCAF decorated a CF-18 Aircraft with special markings – including with its own Scottish tartan. But the links don’t stop there. With regimental names including words like the “Highlanders” and “Black Watch” it’s obvious that Canada’s military has many deep origins in Scotland. Read more here about some especially strong links to Scotland: The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s), The Black Watch, and the 48 th Highlanders of Canada.
