Erm... special division there are not... it breaks down now with two main branches.

1) The Scots Guards
2) The Royal Regiment of Scotland

RRoS breaks down as follows:

Black hackle for those affiliated to 1st (Royal Scots Borderers) Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

White hackle for those affiliated to the 2nd (Royal Highland Fusiliers) Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Red hackle for those affiliated to the 3rd (Black Watch) Battallion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Blue hackle for those affiliated to the 4th (Higlanders) Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

green hackle for those affiliated to the 5th (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

White/Black hackle for those affiliated to 6th (52nd Lowland) Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Red/Blue/Green hackle for those affiliated to the 7th (51st Highland) Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.

the only difference being is the Guards are the ones you have to put the fear of God up anyone (look at Mount Tunbbledown 1982!), harder trained and damn fine soldiers.

Also if you're interested in WW2 milisim, have a look at 'Lord Lovettes Commandos', he too was one of the handful 'lairds' allowed to have his own private army, and was the one who releived Pegasus Bridge having his bagpipes played under fire.
