I'll post my thoughts on Scotland later in the week when I have a little more online time...
Likewise I'll try and get something posted on that when I've a bit more time. Quick point on the name of the regiment though - from 1992 it was changed to the Royal Irish Regiment following the merger of the UDR and the Royal Irish Rangers.
