The Atholl Highlanders by FotoFling Scotland Via Flickr: The 2022 Atholl Gathering and Highland Games, Blair Atholl, Perthshire The Atholl Highlanders is a Scottish ceremonial infantry regiment. They are the only remaining private army in Europe, and act as the personal bodyguard to the Duke of Atholl; Chieftain of the Clan Murray, a family that has thrived in Perthshire for some 750 years. Although it has no official military role, this hand-picked body of local men are armed with Lee Metford rifles, and the regiment includes a pipe band. Joining the Highlanders is by invitation-only from the Duke, who specially selects men with ties to the estate or the local area. The regiment is not part of the British Army but under the command of the Duke of Atholl, and based in at Blair Castle, Blair Atholl. History The regiment was raised in Perthshire by John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl as the 77th Regiment of Foot (or Atholl Highlanders, or Murray's Highlanders) in December 1777.The regiment was formed as a relief for other regiments serving in North America, and spent most of its existence in Ireland. The terms upon which the regiment was raised stated that the men were to be employed for either three years or the duration of the war in America. In 1781, the original three-year term ended, and the men expected the regiment to be disbanded. However, the regiment was transported to England and marched to Portsmouth to be embarked for service in India. Upon learning of this, the men mutinied, and the embarkation orders were countermanded. The regiment was marched to Berwick, where it disbanded in 1783. More than 50 years later, in 1839, George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl, as Lord Glenlyon, resurrected the regiment as a bodyguard which he took to the Eglinton Tournament at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire. Three years later, in 1842, the regiment escorted Queen Victoria during her tour of Perthshire and, in 1844, when the Queen stayed as a guest of the Duke at Blair Castle, the regiment mounted the guard for the entire duration of her stay. In recognition of the service that the regiment provided during her two visits, the Queen announced that she would present the Atholl Highlanders with colours, thus giving the regiment official status. The regiment's first stand of colours was presented by Lady Glenlyon on behalf of the Queen in 1845. Under the John Stewart-Murray, 7th Duke of Atholl, the regiment regularly provided guards for royal visitors to Blair Castle (which was a convenient stopping point on the journey to Balmoral). The regiment also attended the Braemar Gathering, while an annual gathering was held in the first week in September in which the regiment paraded, then participated in various trials of strength and stamina. Following the First World War, parades of the regiment became fewer, although it did provide guards when the Crown Prince of Japan and King Faisal of Iraq visited Blair Castle in 1921 and 1933 respectively. After many years of inactivity the regiment remained in abeyance until in 1966, when it was reformed by Iain Murray, 10th Duke of Atholl. The 10th Duke made the decision to revive the regiment’s annual parade. To this effect eight local men mostly estate employees and all with previous military service training were invited to join, seven accepted. They paraded on 8 April 1966 at Blair Castle for the first time in 33 years. They marched past the Duke led by two Atholl Highlander pipers. In 1973 the regiment returned to the Braemar Gathering and took part in a march past in front of the Queen and other members of the royal family. The Atholl Gathering was re-introduced at Target Park in June 1984. It was feared that the regiment would be disbanded following the 10th Duke's death in 1996, until his successor, John Murray, 11th Duke of Atholl, wrote to the estate trustees insisting that he would continue his traditional role. The 11th Duke, although resident in South Africa, visited Blair Atholl almost every year to inspect the regiment's annual parade until his death. The Atholl Highlanders continue with the current Bruce Murray, 12th Duke of Atholl, as their Colonel in Chief. [Wikipedia -Abridged]

Sophie Wessex and Prince Edward pay tribute to the late Queen with a heartwarming Christmas card

Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, have shared their family Christmas card for 2022, and it pays a touching tribute to the late Queen. The card features an image of the three taken during a trip to Scotland last summer, just a few months before Her Majesty passed away.

The greeting card, sent out to family, friends, and charities, shows the Queen smiling next to her youngest son and his wife at the Ceremony of the Keys. Another image inside gives a glimpse of the Queen privately enjoying her summers in Scotland, as she was seen 20 years ago with her late husband Prince Philip smiling in the sunshine.

A caption on the inside of the Christmas card reads: "In memory of happy days." On Tuesday, Edward and Sophie were pictured arriving at Windsor Castle for the Royal Family's pre-Christmas lunch, where they tucked into Sandringham-bred turkey with all the trimmings.

Mike Tindall revealed some details about the annual event, hosted for the first time this year by King Charles III. He said there were a total of seven tables set up, with one just for the children.

He said on his podcast, The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby, that "the kids have their own little one in a different room." Around 50 extended Royal Family members were in attendance at this year's feast.

However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, were not seen at the gathering. It is understood they will spend Christmas at their home in Montecito, California. They have not spent time in the UK since the Queen's state funeral in September.

They are expected to be invited to the King's coronation on May 6 next year, although it will coincide with their son Archie's fourth birthday. The King also shared his first Christmas card as monarch this month, featuring a photograph taken of himself and Queen Consort Camila at a Highland Gathering just days before the Queen died.

The trio is seen smiling at the Braemar Royal Highland Games on September 3, five days before Her Majesty's death.
