Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Museum
Located within the historic New Barracks of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Museum offers a compelling journey through over 300 years of military history. As Scotland’s only cavalry regiment, the museum chronicles the evolution of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and its antecedents, from the 17th century to modern operations. Visitors encounter a rich collection of uniforms, weapons, medals, and paintings, including the famed French Eagle captured at Waterloo by Ensign Ewart of the Scots Greys. The exhibition highlights the regiment’s role in pivotal conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars, World Wars, and contemporary missions, while also exploring the personal stories of soldiers and their families. With its motto “Second to None,” the museum reflects the pride, tradition, and resilience of the regiment. Immersive displays and archival materials make this museum a vital stop for anyone seeking to understand Scotland’s military legacy within the walls of its most iconic fortress.
