Dreghorn Barracks, Military barracks in Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The Dreghorn Barracks complex consists of white-harled two-storey blocks with stone dressings, constructed in a Dutch-Scots architectural style near Edinburgh's bypass.
The barracks, established in 1937, were built on the grounds of Dreghorn Castle, a 17th-century mansion owned by Sir William Murray, Master of Works to King Charles II.
The Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland performs at the Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo and represents the only army band stationed in Scotland.
The facility houses 670 UK Armed Forces Service personnel and serves as home to the 1st Battalion of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Two original gatehouses from Dreghorn Castle remain along Dreghorn Loan and Oxgangs Road, while the castle's rubble lies scattered across the site since its 1955 demolition.
