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.

“War. Fighting. Men ... every man in the whole realm is in the army.... Every man in uniform ... An economy entirely geared to war ... but there is not much war ... hardly any fighting ... yet every man a soldier from birth till death ... Men ... all men for fighting ... but no war, no wars to fight ... what is it, what does it mean?””
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
