Atholl Highlanders Drum

The regiment was raised in Perthshire by John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl as the 77th Regiment of Foot (or Atholl Highlanders, or Murray's Highlanders) in December 1777. The Atholl Highlanders were a Scottish ceremonial infantry regiment . They are the only private army still operating in Europe and they serve as personal bodyguards to the Duke of Atholl, chief of Clan Murray, who have thrived in Perthshire for around 750 years. To join the Atholl Highlanders, one must be invited by the Duke, who specially selects people with connections to the estate or region. The regiment is not part of the British Army but is under the command of the Duke of Atholl and based at Blair Castle in beautiful Highland Perthshire.
