in turn by Sir William Baillie, 2nd Baronet, on 6 December 1866. Baillie remained in command until 1884. From 1864, the 1st and 2nd Berwickshire AVCs were attached to the Edinburgh City Artillery. The 1st had been raised at Eyemouth on 6 April 1860, and the 2nd at Coldingham appeared in the Army List in February 1861 but no officers were commissioned into it until 10 July 1863. The 2nd Berwickshire AVC was disbanded in 1883. The AVCs were intended to serve as garrison artillery manning fixed defences, but a number of the early units manned semi-mobile 'position batteries' of smooth-bore field guns pulled by agricultural horses. However, the War Office (WO) refused to pay for the upkeep of field guns and the concept died out in the 1870s. It was revived in 1888 when some Volunteer batteries were reorganised as 'position artillery' to work alongside the Volunteer infantry brigades. In February 1889, the 1st Edinburgh AVC was issued with two position batteries of 16-pounder Rifled Muzzle-Loading guns, which were manned by four of the garrison batteries. In 1892, the two position batteries were numbered 1 and 2, and the remaining garrison batteries were redesignated Nos 3–7 Companies. The 16-pounders were replaced by 4.7-inch breechloading guns in February 1903, and position batteries were officially referred to as 'heavy' batteries from 1902. From 1 April 1882, the unit formed part of the Scottish Division of the Royal Artillery (RA); on 1 July 1889, the Volunteer artillery were regrouped into three large divisions, the 1st Edinburgh being assigned to the Southern Division. In 1899, the artillery Volunteers were transferred to the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA), and when the divisional structure was abolished on 1 January 1902 the Edinburgh unit became the 1st Edinburgh (City) RGA (V) with the 1st Berwickshire RGA (V) still attached. By the early 20th Century the unit carried out its gun practice from the Inchkeith Batteries. In 1907, the unit's detachment won the King's Prize at the National Artillery Association meeting at Lydd. Territorial Force When the Volunteers were subsumed into the new Territorial Force (TF) under the Haldane Reforms of 1908, the personnel of the Edinburgh City Artillery was distributed to several new units: The Lowland (City of Edinburgh) RGA Some personnel merged with parts of the 1st Argyll RGA and the 1st Renfrewshire RGA to form the Forth & Clyde RGA, a coast defence unit based
