Post War
After the War, the regiment reconstituted in the Territorial Army as a yeomanry regiment, under its old title of the Queen's Own Royal Glasgow Yeomanry, and transferred into the Royal Armoured Corps. In 1956 it amalgamated with the Lanarkshire Yeomanry and the 1st/2nd Lothian and Border Horse to form The Queen's Own Lowland Yeomanry. In November 1992 they formed the Scottish Yeomanry, with the amalgamation of the Queen's Own Yeomanry and elements 153 (Highland) Regiment Royal Corps of Transport (Volunteers) and 154 (Lowland) Regiment Royal Corps of Transport (Volunteers). The Squadrons were;
- HQ (Lothians and Border Horse) Squadron at Edinburgh.
- A (Ayrshire (Earl of Carrick's Own) Yeomanry) Squadron at Ayr.
- B (Lanarkshire and Queen's Own Royal Glasgow Yeomanry) Squadron at East Kilbride.
- C (Fife and Forfar/Scottish Horse) Squadron at Cupar.
On July 1, 1999 the Regiment was disbanded as a result of the Strategic Defence Review.

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or war:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Of course in war all madnesses come out in a man, that is the fault of war not of a man or a nation.”
—Frieda Lawrence (1879–1956)
