It is said by some authors that its uniform when raised was stone-grey. It bears the Thistle within the Circle and motto of St. Andrew “Nemo me impune lacessit,”--also “Second to None.” It also bears an Eagle in commemoration of its capture of the Eagle of the 45th French Regiment at the battle of Waterloo. It captured the Colours of the French “Regiment-du-Roi,” at the battle of Ramilies, for which it is permitted to wear Grenadier caps; and a Standard of the French Guards at the battle of Dettingen. About 1700 it was commonly known as “The Grey Dragoons,” and “The Scots Regiment of White Horses.” THIRD HUSSARS.
