Redford Cavalry and Infantry Barracks is located on Colinton Road, near the Edinburgh City Bypass, east of the suburb of Colinton in Edinburgh, Scotland. Redford Barracks was built between 1909 and 1915 by the War Office and designed by Harry Bell Measures. When completed, the Barracks was the largest military installation built in Scotland since Fort George in the Highlands. The British Army garrison in Edinburgh Castle formally moved out to the barracks in 1923. Today, the Infantry Barracks are the location of a resident line infantry battalion, 3rd Battalion, The Rifles, and the Cavalry Barracks houses a number of administrative functions. The barracks comprises two category B listed main buildings and parade squares facing Colinton Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Redford Infantry Barracks:Listed Building Report )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Redford Cavalry Barracks:Listed Building Report )〕 ==Infantry Barracks== The Infantry Barracks (), was originally built to house an entire infantry regiment and could accommodate 1,000 men. Today it provides everything the resident line infantry battalion requires to function. The families live in service quarters close to the barracks and the children attend local schools. The main barrack block itself houses the resident Battalion Headquarters, one Rifle Company, a Fire Support Company and Headquarters Company. The two other Rifle Companies are accommodated in a separate, newer block. Redford provides the base for the guard of Edinburgh Castle. The resident Infantry Battalion has been the 3rd Battalion, The Rifles (formerly 2nd Battalion, The Light Infantry) since 2003, when they took over from the 1st Bn The Highlanders. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Redford Barracks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
