In the Garb of Old Gaul is a Scottish song. The words were written by Sir Henry Erskine and the music by Major Reid. It was first published in about 1765.
In the garb of old Gaul, with the fire of old Rome
From the heath-covered mountains of Scotia we come;
Where the Romans endeavored our country to gain,
But our ancestors fought, and they fought not in vain.
It is the Regimental Slow March of the Scottish Regiments.
