On 25 October 1854 during the Battle of Balaklava in the Crimea the 93rd earned immortal fame standing alone in line and repulsed a massive Russian cavalry charge, thus becoming the one and only "THIN RED LINE".

In 1881 the 93rd merged with the 91st Argyllshire Regiment and became the Argyll And Sutherland Highlanders which they remained as until the recent merger by the British government of all the Highland regiments.
