| Description |
Despite the fact that a Sutherland officer in the 19th century would rarely if ever encounter an officer in unform from aonther force, except when attending Thurso (Caithness) with a prisoner or at Ardgay Railway Station (Ross & Cromarty) similarly, the Force appears to have always had a distinguishing mark to accompany its officer identification number - a large "S" (Caithness did the same with a huge "C"). When the (anonymous) helmet plate was repalcec with the (named) cap badge the "S" was dropped, but replaced with collar AND epaulette insignia. Hardly surprising is that it was also (almost) identical to that worn by the Inverness-shire force. At first glance this looks like the entwined scroll initials IC but in fact it is "SC". This insignia continued to be worn right up until Surtherland merged with Ross & Cromarty in 1963. These badges are very scarce now. |
