Transvaal Scottish Regimental Association

Formation of The Transvaal Scottish Regimental Association
At the end of World War II, each of the three battalions had their own Association. In January 1950, Major Angus McLaren wrote in the 1st Bn newsletter, No 3. that: ” a strong combined association should carry a lot more weight in the future and be of greater assistance to the Regiment as a whole.” This amalgamation took place on 24th March 1950 with sixty-six members in attendance. Since that date, membership has grown significantly with membership world-wide.

The  Transvaal Scottish Regimental Association meet regularly at The View, in Parktown, Johannesburg.

The View (the historic former home of the diamond magnate Sir Thomas Cullinan) also houses the regimental museum of the Transvaal Scottish.

The association publishes The Jock Column, a leading journal of its kind in South Africa.
