Scots Greys

The Scots Greys was the unofficial and later official name of a dragoon regiment of the British Army from 1678 until 1971, when they amalgamated to form The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys).

Motto

The Scots Greys had the motto "Second to none". It referred to their seniority in the British Army and their fighting prowess. Their official motto, however, was Nemo Me Impune Lacessit (No one provokes me with impunity). They were distinctive as the only cavalry regiment to wear bearskins instead of helmets.
