The Regiment was formed from the Glasgow Cameronian Guard, known as “The Cameronians,” being raised from the followers of Richard Cameron, one of the preachers of the religious sect who took his name.

It was known as “The Scots” about 1762.

It bears “The Sphinx” for Egypt, 1801; and “The Dragon” for China, 1842.
