**Today in Scottish History**

On 24th April, 1633, Sir John Hepburn raised a regiment of 1200 men which ultimately became the Royal Scots.
A warrant from the Privy Council ordered Hepburn to raise the regiment to fight in the French service. The recruits came mainly from Scottish mercenaries of Gustavus Aldolphus in the Thirty Years' War.

Today in 1882, Air Chief Marshal Hugh, Lord Dowding, was born. Chief of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, Dowding was opposed to Government proposals to send most of the fighter command to France in May 1940. He was instrumental in keeping RAF squadrons in Britain where, in September 1940, they defeated the Luftwaffe.
