Looking at Royal Regiment of Scotland as an Officer?
Got Sandhurst in September, recently met a bunch of Soldiers in the Royal Scots and I was always told join the Regiment you feel at home with and get on best with. Put it simply I'm English but my family's from a town full of Scots and thus has a bit of a Scottish Influence, never occured to me till I realised how well I was getting on with these Royal Scots guys but will being from the South of England be a bar to joining?

As an English officer in a Scottish regiment I doubt you'll be unique. Much the same as if you were a Fijian joining the R&F.
If you can't take the RAF, you shouldn't have joined a joke.

The RRS is chock full of English officers. Jocks* don't care.
*Scots, Fijians, Englishmen, South Africans etc.

Indeed. Not known as Sussex Highlanders for nothing.

Jocks don't care, historically most battalions had English officers. About 50/50 now. Go for it.
