As a follow on to comments regarding the Blackwatch, Royal Highland Regiment (HM's 42nd Regt of Foot) it appears that with the ever shrinking situation of the British Army that regiment is programmed to stand down and be removed from the Order of Battle. This almost happened back in the 1950's but the Highland Division was brought up to strength and the Regiment avoided amalgamation or redundency. This time it appears that they will lay up their colours and cease to be an active unit in the next couple of years. Too bad as this is a fine old regiment with a lot of history and some very impressive battle honours.
Of course, it can lay dormant for a while and be reconsitiuted in the future when needed again.
