| Buckshaw Hall, Image via 28 Days Later |
Buckshaw Hall is a timber frame manor house that was erected in 1654 by the Robinson Family in Lancashire, England. In 1937, the hall and the accompanying farmland were purchased by the Royal Ordinance Factory to build a munitions factory. The hall itself was to be restored in 2005 and sold, but appears to remain unoccupied. The surrounding R.O.F. land has become a new residential and industrial area called Buckshaw Village, which aims to transform this brownfield site using sustainable development practices.

| Regimental Cap Badge |
The Royal Regiment of Foot was raised in 1633 when Sir John Hepburn, under a Royal Warrant from King Charles I, recruited 1200 men in Scotland. After the war of 1812, it gained the moniker "The Royal Scots". It was the oldest Regiment in the British Army and, as such, was the senior Infantry Regiment of the Line. They fought in the Battle of Alexandria, the Battle of Waterloo, the Battle of the Somme, and almost every campaign of the British Army, up through the Gulf War and the war in Iraq.
The Royal Scots were also known as "First of foot, right of the line and the pride of the British army". For much of its history, the Royal Scots was composed of two battalions that were often sent to separate theaters of war. It grew to four battalions for the Napoleonic War, and it raised some thirty-five battalions over the course of WWI. After WWII, it became a largely Territorial force, with only one regular battalion. The 9th (Territorial) Battalion was known as "The Dandy Ninth", being the only kilted battalion of this lowland regiment which was originally formed from highlanders who emigrated to the Edinburgh area. On 23 March 2006, The Royal Scots were amalgamated with the King's Own Scottish Borderers, to form The Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion the new Royal Regiment of Scotland.
