51st (Highland) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery
The 51st (Highland) Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery was a Scottish unit of Britain's Territorial Army (TA) formed for air defence just before World War II. It later served as an anti-aircraft (AA) artillery unit in the North West Europe Campaign 1944–45.
==Origin==
The unit's origin lay in two independent AA Companies of the Royal Engineers (RE) formed in Aberdeen and Dundee in 1935 and equipped with searchlights. During the expansion of TA air defence units in 1938, the two were combined into a new 51st (Highland) AA Battalion, RE and a third company raised, giving the battalion the following organisation:〔''Army List''.〕〔(3 AA Division 1939 at British Military History )〕〔(''Glasgow Herald'' 13 January 1938. )〕

* 319 (City of Aberdeen) AA Company, Fonthill Barracks, Aberdeen
* 320 (City of Dundee) AA Company, Drill Hall, Bell St, Dundee
* 404 AA Company, Cowdenbeath
Major W.C.G. Black, MC, TD, officer commanding 20th (Fife & Forfar Yeomanry) Armoured Car Company, was promoted to lieutenant-colonel to command the new battalion on 12 October 1938.〔
