The Royal Scots is one of the oldest regiments in the British Army, with a history dating back to 1633. The mid-Victorian officer's shoulder belt plate was a significant part of the uniform. This level of detail and craftsmanship in a shoulder belt plate makes it a prestigious and distinctive part of an officer's uniform. Such elements were not only functional but also served as symbols of honour, tradition, and regimental pride.
