EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the essence of Scottish military tradition with its depiction of the Pipe Major of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, as painted by the renowned Scottish artist Malcolm Greensmith in 1974. The Pipe Major is shown in full ceremonial dress, a testament to the rich history and heritage of the Scottish military. The Pipe Major's uniform is adorned with the distinctive tartan of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, a pattern that has been worn by the regiment since its inception in 1678. The kilt, made from the regimental tartan, is worn with a sporran, a traditional Scottish pouch that hangs from the waist. The Pipe Major's outfit is completed with a bearskin hat, a symbol of his rank and position within the regiment. The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, also known as the Carabiniers and Greys, is one of the oldest and most decorated regiments in the British Army. Originally formed as a cavalry regiment, it has seen action in numerous conflicts, including the Battle of Waterloo, the Boer War, and both World Wars. The regiment's history is steeped in tradition and honor, and the Pipe Major's ceremonial dress is a reflection of this proud heritage. Malcolm Greensmith's painting captures the Pipe Major's dignity and poise, as he stands tall and proud, his pipe and drums at his side. The intricate details of the uniform, the folds of the kilt, and the texture of the bearskin hat are all rendered with exquisite detail, making this a truly stunning and authentic representation of Scottish military history.
