Back to Quick Step 21st Regiment
QUICK STEP 21ST REGIMENT. Scottish, English; March (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. At the time of James Aird's publication of his first volume of Selections, the 21st Regiment was the Royal North British Fusilier Regiment of Foot, numbered the 21st Regiment in 1751 when the army reorganized and gave all its regiments numbers. Despite the nomen 'North British', the Regiment was originally raised Lowland Scotland, retained those associations, and survives today as The Royal Scots Fusiliers. Among their many engagements, they fought against Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites at Culloden.
