32 (Scottish) Signal Regiment

The 32nd (Scottish) Signal Regiment is a British Territorial Army regiment of the Royal Corps of Signals.

It was createdas a TAVR II (Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve) due to defence cuts, being formed on [1 April]] 1967. The regiment was comprised of five squadrons. They were:

  • HQ Squadron
  • 51 (Highland) Signal Squadron -- sucessor to 51 (Highland) Signal Regiment
  • 52nd (Lowland) Signal Squadron -- sucessor to 52 (Lowland) Signal Regiment
  • 61 (City of Edinburgh) Signal Squadron -- sucessor to 61 (City of Edinburgh) Signal Regiment
  • 82 (Army Emergency Reserve) Signal Squadron -- sucessor to 82 Signal Regiment (Army Emergency Reserve)

The regiment gained a sixth squadron in 1969, when the North Irish Horse became 69 (North Irish Horse) Signal Squadron. The regiment was reduced to five squadrons in the early 1970s upon the disbandment of 82 Squadron. Due to Options for Change, 69 Squadron transferred to 40 (Ulster) Signal Regiment in 1995. In 1999, due to the reforms implemented by the Strategic Defence Review, 52 Squadron was re-titled as 52 (Lanarkshire and Glasgow Yeomanry) Signal Squadron due to the disbandment of B (Lanarkshire and Queen's Royal Glasgow Yeomanry) Squadron, The Scottish Yeomanry (which also disbanded).

The regiment's squadron's are all based in Scotland: HQ Squadron is based in Glasgow; 51 Squadron is in Aberdeen; 52 Squadron is in East Kilbride; and 61 Squadron is located in Edinburgh. The regiment maintains a long-standing affiliation with the Queen's Own Gurkha Signals that began in 1967.
