EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the moment of pride and honor as His Grace The Duke of Richmond & Gordon, K.G. Lord Lieutenant of the County, presents the newly designed Colours of the 6th (Morayshire) Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders to Colonel Sir George A. Cooper, Baronet, of Hursley Park, Winchester, and The College, Elgin, during a ceremony held in the Cooper Park, Elgin on the 18th of September 1909. The 6th Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders, also known as the "Morayshire Buffs," were a part of the famous Scottish regiment that had seen action in various conflicts, including the Second Boer War. The Colours, symbolizing the regiment's rich history and traditions, were meticulously designed with intricate details, including the regimental crest, the St. Andrew's Cross, and the battalion number. The tassels and bayonets add a regal and militaristic touch to the image. The Duke of Richmond & Gordon, a prominent figure in Scottish society, played a significant role in the presentation ceremony, reflecting the deep connection between the Scottish people and their military heritage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Seaforth Highlanders and the pride that comes with serving in the British Army.
