The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment), once known as the Royal Regiment of Foot, was the oldest and most senior infantry regiment of the line of the British Army, having been raised in 1633 during the reign of Charles I. The regiment existed continuously until 2006, when it amalgamated with the King's Own Scottish Borderers to become the Royal Scots Borderers, which merged with the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment), the Black Watch, the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons) and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland.This authoritative, illustrated history is part of the celebrated Famous Regiments series.

Boards. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Here contained in one comprehensive volume, are details of the sport available to the shooting man throughout the world. The laws, customs, climate and terrain, as well as the birds and beasts commonly shot, are dealt with under each country alphabetically from Afghanistan to Zambia. All the information a visiting sportsman is likely to require, from licence fees to bag limits and useful addresses, is provided, with convenient tables beside each entry. The appearance, habits, life cycle, distribution and habitat of the principal game species around the world are dealt with individually, specifically from the sportsman's viewport. Although in no sense a book on taxonomy, biology and zoology, the recognized scientific name of each species has been included as an aid to identification. Authorative contributions from many countries have been included on such varied ancillary subjects as gundogs, trapping, trophy measurements, wildfowling and, of course, firearms, covering the modern rifle and shotgun, supported by a full glossary of terms. The importence of game management, control of breeding, predators and culling, are also dealt with amongst many other aspects, always remembering that today the sportsman is in the forefront of the battle against needless deaths of wildlife. The modern shooting man's role in active conservation is fully recognized. Without leaving his armchair and merely by browsing through these pages the reader can learn many fascinating details about sport in other countries. From the author's challenging introduction onwards he will find this book full of interest and information, as well as an invaluable source of reference. Concise and comprehensive, the text is reinforced with cross-references and a brilliant selection of more than 300 illustrations in black and white and colour. Illustrated.
