General William Gordon, shown wearing the uniform of the 105th Regiment in a painting byPompeo Batoni. Actually, when the painting was made (1765–66), the regiment had already been disbanded; Gordon, then on half-pay, evidently kept the uniform and had it with him when visitingRome, where he met Batoni.

The105th Regiment of Foot (Queen's Own Royal Regiment of Highlanders) was a short-lived Britishline infantryregiment. It was raised inPerthshire by Major-GeneralDavid Graeme as a two-battalion regiment on 15 October 1760 by converting independent companies.[1] It was named afterCharlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who had been selected as the wife for the futureGeorge III of Great Britain. The regiment served in Ireland and was disbanded in 1763.[2]
