Following the formation of the Territorial Army in 1908 units saw service in the World Wars. 205 (Scottish) Field Hospital (V) is the only TA formation to have served in both the Gulf wars. The unit tartan has for some years been Graham of Montrose, worn originally by the Pipes and Drums of the 2nd Scottish General Hospital from 1920. Now added is the deep cherry red of the RAMC, the dark green of the RADC and the grey and scarlet of the QARANC. These are the three medical elements of the Field Hospital.

Where tartans were recorded before the establishment of the Scottish Register of Tartans (SRT) on 5 February 2009, the original Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) and the Scottish Tartans World Register (STWR) reference numbers have been retained. The new SRT reference number can be found in the address box on your browser (url).

The registration criteria now applied by the Register conforms to the Scottish Register of Tartans Act 2008. These criteria are different to those previously applied by either the STA or the STWR.
