| | Official Publication about The Scottish Rite |
 | | The government of the Scottish Rite in Canada resides in the Supreme Council 33° which selects and elects its own membership. | | | It was these Constitutions which brought "The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite" into formal existence, enlarging the number of degrees to thirty-three, with the 33rd degree as a governing Supreme Council. | | | The Scottish Rite builds a superstructure on this firm base, and so provides a means whereby the earnest seeker after truth may receive further and deeper knowledge and understanding of the same great truths. |

| | The Scottish Military Tradition in Canada |
| | The first blooding of Canadian Scottish units occurred on the beaches of Dieppe, August 1942 when The Essex Scottish, the Cameron Highlanders of Canada, and elements of the Black Watch went ashore into a hail of fire with their comrades of Second Division. | | | The Scottish military tradition is generally associated with the Highlands, home of the clans, where a tribal feudalism akin to our own Canadian aboriginal peoples flourished with its own hierarchy of chieftains. | | | One consolation was that the uniforms, traditions, and instruments represented by the Black Watch's pipe bands were inherited gladly by the The Royal Canadian Regiment, Canada's oldest and most senior regular infantry regiment. |

| | In 1930, a second battalion was added which was converted to machine gun in 1936 as the 66th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Canadian Scottish Regiment) R.C.A. The Canadian Scottish absorbed the 62nd AT Battery and 66th Light AA Regiment as a 2nd Battalion in the reorganisation of 1954. | | | By the turn of the century, all of the British regiments had been withdrawn from Canada as the Canadian Militia was embodied for civil defence and defence against a non-threatening United States. | | | Due to the then traditional anti-British sentiments and the cultural diversity of the American population, the author is not aware of any Highland or Scottish motif units raised in the United States after the American Civil War. |

| | The glengarry had been worn throughout the British Army in the previous century, and that practice had extended to units of the Canadian Militia as well, though by the early years of the 20th Century, non-Scottish units had replaced the glengarry with other forms of headdress. | | | As the war progressed, the unit adopted one single set of dress distinctions, and became known as simply "Canadian Scottish". | | | The tradition headdress of Highland and Scottish Regiments in the Canadian Army was the glengarry, a boat shaped hat with two silk tails and a toorie on top. |
