'''Scottish Command''' or '''Army Headquarters Scotland''' (from 1972) was a [[Command (military formation)|command]] of the [[British Army]]. The successor role, since 2015, has been the '''Military Secretary and General Officer, Scotland'''.
==History== ===Early history=== [[File:Edinburgh Castle from Portsburgh.jpg|thumb|[[Edinburgh Castle]], command headquarters from 1905 to 1955]] Great Britain was divided into [[military district]]s on the outbreak of [[Anglo-French War (1793–1802)|war with France]] in 1793.<ref>Robert Burnham and Ron McGuigan, ''The British Army Against Napoleon: Facts, Lists and Trivia, 1805–1815'' (2010) [https://books.google.com/books?id=-wGSAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA7 p. 7].</ref> The Scottish District was commanded by the Commander-in-Chief, Scotland. In January 1876 a ‘Mobilization Scheme for the forces in Great Britain and Ireland’ was published, with the ‘Active Army’ divided into eight army corps based on the District Commands. [[VIII Corps (United Kingdom)|8th Corps]] was to be formed within Scottish Command, based at [[Edinburgh]]. This scheme disappeared in 1881, when the districts were retitled ‘District Commands.<ref>''Army List'' 1876–1881.</ref>
===Early twentieth century=== The 1901 Army Estimates introduced by [[St John Brodrick, 1st Earl of Midleton|St John Brodrick]] allowed for six army corps based on six regional commands. As outlined in a paper published in 1903, [[VI Corps (United Kingdom)|VI Corps]] was to be formed in a reconstituted Scottish Command, with HQ at Edinburgh.<ref>Col John K. Dunlop, ''The Development of the British Army 1899–1914'', London: Methuen, 1938.</ref> Lieutenant General Sir [[Charles Tucker (British Army officer)|Charles Tucker]] was appointed acting [[General Officer Commanding]]-in-Chief (GOCinC) of VI Corps in April 1903. Scottish Command was established in 1905 at [[Edinburgh Castle]] but moved to [[Craigiehall]] in 1955.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/w/wilton_park/|title=Subterranea Britannica: Research Study Group: Sites: Wilton Park (Beaconsfield): Eastern Command War HQ & AFHQ 5|access-date=5 March 2016}}</ref>
===First World War=== Army Order No 324, issued on 21 August 1914, authorised the formation of a 'New Army' of six Divisions, manned by volunteers who had responded to [[Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener|Earl Kitchener]]'s appeal (hence the First New Army was known as 'K1'). Each division was to be under the administration of one of the Home Commands, and Scottish Command formed what became the [[9th (Scottish) Division]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/9div.htm|title=9th Division|publisher= The long, long trail|access-date=14 December 2015}}</ref> It was followed by [[15th (Scottish) Division]] of K2 in September 1914.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/15div.htm|title=15th Division|publisher= The long, long trail|access-date=14 December 2015}}</ref> The [[64th (2nd Highland) Division]] was established in the Command by 1915 after the departure of [[51st (Highland) Division]] for France.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2 February 2012|publisher=The Long Long Trail|title=64th (2nd Highland) Division|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/64%282H%29div.html}}</ref>
===Second World War=== In September 1939 consisted of Highland Area with [[9th (Highland) Infantry Division]] and [[51st (Highland) Division|51st (Highland) Infantry Division]], and Lowland Area with [[15th (Scottish) Infantry Division]] and [[52nd (Lowland) Infantry Division]], plus other troops.<ref name=orbat>Leo Niehorster, [http://niehorster.org/017_britain/39_commands/scottish.html Scottish Command].

===Post War=== In 1950, the 51st/52nd (Scottish) Division was split, restoring the independence of the 52nd Lowland Division, which took regional command of [[Territorial Army (United Kingdom)|Territorial Army]] units based in the Scottish Lowlands, including the Territorial infantry battalions of the [[Lowland Brigade (Scottish)|Lowland Brigade]] regiments.<ref>''Reorganizing Territorials'', [[The Times]], 21 July 1960.</ref>
In 1948, the [[9th Special Communications Unit (United Kingdom)|9th Special Communications Unit]] was formed in [[Forfar]] administered by Scottish Command. The 30th Armoured Brigade was reformed in Scotland after the war as a fully [[Territorial Army (United Kingdom)|Territorial Army]] formation, known as the [[30th (Lowland) Independent Armoured Brigade]]. It was headquartered in [[Glasgow]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Watson|first=Graham|date=10 March 2002|title=United Kingdom: The Territorial Army 1947|url=http://www.orbat.info/history/historical/uk/ta47.html|access-date=6 January 2022|website=Information on Orders of Battle}}</ref> [[File:Craigiehallold.jpg|thumb|[[Craigiehall]], command headquarters from 1955 to 2000]] In 1955, Headquarters Scottish Command moved into modern facilities at [[Craigiehall]], close to [[Cramond]], around 9 km (5.6 mi) west of central [[Edinburgh]]. At this time, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief had 92 separate locations under his command, with 2,500 regular service men and women and 8,800 members of the Territorial Army, representing 14% of the total across the UK.<ref>Trevor Royle, "Facing the Bear: Scotland and the Cold War," via [[Google Books]].</ref>
The Command was merged into HQ [[United Kingdom Land Forces]] (HQ UKLF) in 1972 and the headquarters in [[Scotland]] was downgraded to the status of a district, known as Army Headquarters Scotland. Scotland continued to have district status until 2000 when the last General Officer Commanding Scotland stood down and the Army HQ Scotland was replaced by HQ [[2nd Infantry Division (United Kingdom)|2nd Infantry Division]] with control of troops in Scotland and the North of England.<ref>[http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/major-change-of-direction-mark-strudwick-after-commanding-the-army-in-scotland-running-psybt-is-a-surprisingly-suitable-new-career-finds-simon-bain-saturday-interview-1.16510 Major change of direction Mark Strudwick; After commanding the Army in Scotland, running PSYBT is a surprisingly suitable new career] The Glasgow Herald, 25 June 2006</ref>
