The Royal Scots Borderers is the name given to the 1st Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. The Royal Regiment of Scotland is unique in the British Army in that the names of the regiments that were amalgamated to form it have been retained, with their battalion numbers used as subtitles. Two of the initial six battalions, the Royal Scots Battalion and King's Own Scottish Borderers Battalion will be amalgamated in August 2006 - upon their amalgamation, the new battalion will be given the name Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.
