The Highland Light Infantry and Seaforth Highlanders enjoy the
privilege of carrying a third colour on parade, this having been
presented to them to commemorate their bravery at the battle of
Assaye, and being emblazoned with an elephant is known as the Assaye
or Elephant Colour. The Seaforth is the only regiment to have a Gaelic
motto.
The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders have a larger proportion of
Gaelic-speaking soldiers in their ranks than any other, most of them
hailing from the most northern part of the Highlands.
