Regimental Journal

The Thistle, Journal of the Royal Scots was first published in 1890[1]. A second series appears to have been published from 1904 to at least 1937, and a third series from 1946.

The British Library has recent editions of this journal in its catalogue, but does not advise when the holding commences. The National Army Museum, London has the following editions in its catalogue 1894-95; 1895; 1896; 1898; 1900; 19 volumes 1908-1930; 1932-34; January and April 1937. The National Library of Scotland holds “New ser. v. 1, no. 1 (Mar. 1904)-v. 1, no. 12 (Feb. 1905) ; 3rd new ser. v. 1, no. 1 (Jan., 1946)-“. The Royal Scots Museum may possibly hold copies, although there is no mention of this on its website.
