EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of regal tradition as members of the Gordon Highlanders dutifully dip their colours before their royal visitors on Constitution Hill, circa 1908. The Gordon Highlanders, a renowned Scottish infantry regiment of the British Army, are easily identified by their distinctive uniforms. Each soldier wears a busby hat adorned with a black cockade and a sporran slung low over a kilt, displaying the regiment's tartan pattern proudly. The horses, also dressed in their finest military attire, stand calmly, their ears pricked in attention as the soldiers pay their respects. The scene exudes an air of solemnity and reverence, as the men stand at rigid attention, their faces expressionless, their eyes fixed on the ground. The visit from royalty adds an extra layer of significance to the event. The monarch, not visible in the photograph, would have been greeted with a grand display of military tradition and discipline. The Gordon Highlanders' meticulous dipping of the colours, a time-honoured ceremony symbolizing the connection between the soldiers and their commanding officer, would have been a sight to behold. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Scotland's rich military heritage was on full display. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Gordon Highlanders and the deep-rooted traditions of the Scottish regiments of the British Army.
