allied to a number of overseas regiments, alongside whom our ancestors have
fought in past campaigns. Dates in brackets are dates the affiliation was
formally approved by the Sovereign.

We are affiliated
to three Royal Navy ships, (HMS Inverness, HMS Shetland
(believed to have been laid up?) and
HMS Sutherland).
Amazingly, the Regiment is linked to a TRIDENT Ballistic Missile Submarine of
the Vanguard Class, HM Submarine Victorious. Details are
here on the Royal Navy website. So if you want to mess with The
Highlanders, be prepared for incoming nukes from our mates onboard Victorious!
We are also affiliated to
846 Naval Air
Squadron who operate Westland Commando helicopters for the Royal Marines
