The Gordon Highlanders Regimental Association

The Gordon Highlanders Regimental Association was instituted in 1930 and aims to foster esprit de corps and keep alive reunions and meetings of comradeship between officers, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers and the men of The Gordon Highlanders Regiment.

On 17 September 1994, as a result of the amalgamation with The Queen’s Own Highlanders (Seaforth & Camerons), The Gordon Highlanders ceased to exist as a Regular Line Infantry Regiment. However, The Gordon Highlanders Association continues and thrives! The Association has its primary aim of Welfare support to our veteran Gordon Highlanders throughout the UK and beyond and in particular, providing assistance to those who have fallen on hard times. The Association also supports widows and children of Gordon Highlanders and ensures that pensioners and veterans of the Regiment are well cared for.

Gordon Highlander Welfare applications submitted through SSAFA, Poppy Scotland and The Royal British Legion and other organisations supporting our veterans will receive funding support.

The Association also provides support for a wide variety of veteran activities – Regimental Gatherings, Regimental Armed Forces Day and Remembrance Parades, Battlefield Tours to Regimental conflict areas and not least special occasions such as our annual Widow and Widowers Christmas lunch. The Gordon Highlanders Association Trust is run by a small team of Trustees, but we take great pride in the support we provide to our, sadly, diminishing number of veterans.
