Great Britain Scottish regimental Badge?

[Observer]

I am trying to determine which regiment would have had a badge consisting of two laurel wreaths, side by side, with what seems to be a wolf's head in the left and a rampant lion in the right.

Please note that I have tried to upload a picture from Photobucket but with no success -the pop-up seems to freeze and won't let me cancel it thereafter, so I am trying the attachment.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like we have some sort of collar badge. Can you read the scrolls under the figures and provide the words?

Thanks, Paul, that is precisely what it is. One more piece of the puzzle to put away. You wouldn't happen to know how many of these men transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, would you?

I am not going to download the image but here is one from what you describe. Though it is a boars head from the ocat of amrs of the duke of Argylle.

Thanks Jerry, for the info about the first creature, but what is the second one? With your picture it certainly doesn't look like a lion!! More like a hare?

Cheers,

It is a mountain cat, the familly badge of the Sutherlands, the version I show is known as the fat cat, post 1902 among collar badge collecters.
