The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment) is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army that is headquartered in Brampton, Ontario. It is part of the 4th Canadian Division's 32 Canadian Brigade Group. This kilted Lowland regiment was formed as an amalgamation in 1936 of two predecessor units that date back to 1866. The regiment is named for John Campbell, Marquis of Lorne (Governor General of Canada 1878–1883) and three Ontario counties: Peel County, Dufferin County, and Halton County. In the Second World War, the Lorne Scots mobilized nearly all the defence and employment units for the Canadian Army (Active).
