The Gordon Highlanders
were raised in 1794 by the 4th Duke of Gordon
whose wife, the beautiful Duchess Jean, is reputed to
have promised a kiss to all recruits who "took the
shilling." They were originally numbered the 100th
Regiment) but in 1798 became the 92nd, under
which number they were known until their amalgamation
with the 75th Regiment in 1881. On the amalgamation, the
75th became the 1st Battalion The Gordon Highlanders,
and the 92nd the 2nd Battalion.
In 1994 the regiment was amalgamated with the
Queen's Own Highlanders. Their new title being The
Highlanders (Seaforths, Gordons and Camerons).
