The King's Own Scottish Borderers (KOSBs) was a line infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Scottish Division.
On 28 March 2006 the regiment was amalgamated with the Royal Scots, the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment), the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment), the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons), the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's), 52nd Lowland Regiment, and 51st Highland Regiment to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The battalion merged with the Royal Scots Battalion to form the Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The badge shows Edinburgh Castle set upon St Andrew's Cross and within a band carrying the unit title. Above is the motto of Edinburgh 'Nisi Dominus Frustra' ('Without the Lord, All is in Vain') and below another 'In Veritate Religionis Confido' ('I Put My Trust in the Truth of Religion').
