THE ROYAL SCOTS DRAGOON GUARDS - THE REGIMENTAL FAMILY
Learn more about the Regimental Family of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, including what it means to the family members, the challenges of having a loved one serve on operations overseas, and the sense of community that being a family member of a serving soldier brings.
OUR REGIMENT - A LOCAL SCHOOL VIDEO
In 2024 the Museum worked with Animation Jam and the Primary 6 class at Leuchars Primary School to create an animation telling stories from the Regiment's history. This project culminated in a film that was then displayed in the Museum for our visitors to see.
