Summary

[edit]
Description

The age of this veteran belt buckle is indicated by the antique spelling of ARGYLE.

Argyllshire Constabulary was set up in 1840 and remained a separate entity until 16th May 1975 when it,as with all Scottish Police forces, was overtaken by "Regionalisation". All the counties and remaining City force were merged into one of 8 Regional forces.

Argyll, by virtue of its unique geography, found itself spilt between of the new Forces. The bulk of the mianland area, together with its islands (Mull, Islay etc) became part of Strathclyde Police, whereas the northern end (Glencoe, Ballachulish, Ardnamurchan peninsula) was taken into the Northern Constabulary area.
