The Battalions initial posting was a residential tour of Northern Ireland at Ebrington Barracks Londonderry. In 2003 the Battalion conducted a tour of Bosnia. In 2004, as part of the Army’s restructuring, the remaining Scottish infantry regiments were amalgamated into the Royal Regiment of Scotland. The Highlanders became the 4th Battalion.
