Well the Army only had numbered regiments to 1881 - then they changed to the County names so it isn't the end of the world - remember we ruled the world then.........................
Squadrons have only ever had numbers - the fame of any particular one has no relation to it's number TBH
When a lot of the Scots regiments have serious problems in recruiting and have to be filled up with Commonwealth citizens suggests the old County model is heading for the scrap heap anyway
