SEAFORTH HIGHLANDERS

The Seaforth Highlanders (also known as the Ross-shire Buffs and The Duke of Albany's) was a Highland army regiment first raised in 1756 under the title of the 72nd Regiment of Foot (Fraser's Highlanders). It was disbanded in 1763 and reformed in 1778 by the Earl Of Seaforth. In 1881 it was joined with the 78th Regiment of Foot, also known as the 78th Highlanders or Ross-shire Buffs and the merged regiment was renamed the Seaforth Highlanders.
