Defend the Empire

We are always looking to welcome new recruits to the Imperial Scottish Garrison, which is part of the worldwide 501st Legion. All costumes are built by our own members to 'on screen' levels of costume accuracy, guided by our experienced armourers (your guide through the whole process).


A good source of information can be found on our frequently asked questions page.

1. Choose Your Costume

Choose which costume you wish to build by visiting the 501st Legion Costuming Reference Library. There are many advantages and disadvantages to each costume. Some can be expensive for purchasing parts and some can be hot to wear for long periods while trooping.

2. Join Your Detachment

Now that you have decided what to wear, you have to build it! Join the detachment forum your costume is attached to. The members there have a long history of knowing your costume in detail and can provide unquestionable knowledge.

3. Join Our Forum

Join our forum. Once your account is up and running, introduce yourself, tell us where you live in Scotland, what costume you are interested in or working on. Starting a WIP (Work In Progress) thread will give you a great opportunity to showcase your progress.

4. Take Photos

Take some high quality photos of you in your costume so that your costume can be approved by the garrison armourer. Once approved, they will provide all the information required on how to join the 501st Legion Forum.
