Who we are
We recruit soldiers from across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, but we are all proud of our Regiment's Scottish heritage. We wear the modern Hunting Robertson tartan. Our qualified Pipe Band drawn from soldiers across the Regiment is a living connection to our Scottish heritage.

Facts & Figures
ACTIVE FROM:
1900
ROLE:
FIREPOWER
SPECIALISM:
FIXING THE ENEMY IN ONE PLACE
What we do
Our Regiment specialise in fixing the enemy in one place with firepower so they can be attacked and defeated by the armoured infantry and heavy tank units we support.
The firepower we use not only comes from our own artillery guns, but we also call in firepower from Apache attack helicopters and fighter jets.
To do this we need a vast array of exciting roles filled by great people who live and work together as a close-knit team.
The Regiment is equipped with two core armoured vehicles.
We are based in Larkhill, (the home of the Royal Artillery) in Wiltshire, close to good transport routes to anywhere in the country.
Our History
The Regiment traces its history to 17 Brigade Royal Field Artillery formed in 1900, but the individual batterys date back to the 18th century.
