History

The regiment was first formed as the 105 (Scottish) Air Defence Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers) on 1 April 1986 with its Regimental Headquarters at Artillery House, near Redford Barracks in Edinburgh.^[1] Its units were 207 (City of Glasgow) Air Defence Battery at Glasgow, 212 (Highland) Air Defence Battery at Arbroath and 218 (Lothian) Air Defence Battery at Livingston.^[1] It was equipped with the Starstreak missile. In 1987 219 (City of Dundee) Air Defence Battery was formed at Dundee and joined the regiment.^[1]

After the Options for Change defence review in 1993, 206 (Ulster) Battery transferred to the regiment from 102nd (Ulster) Air Defence Regiment.^[1] At that time 218 Battery and 219 Battery disbanded and the regiment was renamed 105 Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers).^[1]

Under Army 2020, a new battery, 278 (Lowland) Battery Royal Artillery based in Livingston will join this regiment.^[2] From 1 March 2015, the regiment will be paired with 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery.^[3]
