Coldstream, Scotland

The somewhat unprepossessing small town of Coldstream in Scotland lies on the north bank of the River Tweed in Berwickshire, while Northumberland (and England) lies on the south bank. In all probability very few would have heard of this town were it not the home of the Coldstream Guards, which dates back to 1650 when it was founded by General George Monck. It is the oldest regiment in continuous active service in Britain's Regular Army.
