The Regiment was raised in Scotland, and received its Title from being armed with fuzils instead of muskets.

It bears “The Thistle within the Circle of St. Andrew,” with the motto “Nemo me impune lacessit”; also “The King’s Cypher and Crown.”

It was commonly known when raised as “The Earl of Mar’s Grey-Breeks,” from the colour of the men’s breeches.
