It bore, in 1633, St. Andrew’s Cross, with Thistle and Crown; and, in 1751, the distinction of the Colours of 2nd Battalion was a flaming ray of gold from the upper corner of each Colour to the centre. It bears the Royal Cypher within the Collar of St. Andrew, and the Crown over it; also the Thistle and Crown, with the motto of the Order, “Nemo me impune lacessit.” It captured a Colour from the Moors at the defence of Tanjier, in 1680, for which it received its title in 1684; it also captured the Duke of Monmouth’s Standard at the Battle of Sedgmoor, 1685. It is nicknamed “Pontius Pilate’s Body Guard,” from its antiquity.
